TRI12 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_02460 (TRI12) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a trichothecene efflux pump, a transmembrane transporter with an MFS_Str1/Tri12-like domain. The gene is associated with wax anabolism, systemic acquired resistance, and immune response, and its product localises to the vacuolar membrane and plasmalemma. TRI12 is linked to the related gene prx5 and to the dotC protein. Related genes in other species connect it to toxin export and pathogenicity, though these roles are not yet established in V. dahliae.
