VDAG_02838 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_02838 on Verticillium dahliae chromosome DS572698 encodes a protein (EGY21314) that belongs to the SKP1/BTB/POZ superfamily. The gene is annotated to the biological process of spore germination. It is also associated with related genes in other fungal pathogens, including MGG_03115 and FOZG_17541. Studies of the broader BTB/POZ domain family in related species such as Verticillium nonalfalfae and various Fusarium species connect this gene family to roles in fungal development and stress responses, though these associations are not yet established for VDAG_02838 itself.
