Vd2LysM — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_05180, designated Vd2LysM on chromosome DS572703 of Verticillium dahliae, encodes a protein containing a LysM domain and belonging to the LysM domain superfamily. This gene is associated with vascular wilt disease in host plants including Solanum lycopersicum, Arabidopsis thaliana, and Nicotiana benthamiana. The encoded product has been linked to the apoplastic effector class through sequence similarity with related genes in other species, including Fusarium species.
