DEF1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FoDEF1 (FOXG_00743) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein containing a SANT/Myb domain and a SANT domain. This gene is associated with induced systemic resistance and regulation of growth, based on ontology annotations. It has also been linked to expression at 2, 4, and 6 days post-inoculation (DPI) and under in vitro conditions. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to differential expression during tomato infection, though these associations are not established for FoDEF1 itself.
