TRI12 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_06172 (TRI12) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter, specifically of the MFS_Tri12-like subfamily, and is annotated with transmembrane transporter activity. 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 dotC protein, which centres on VER1. Studies of related genes in other species associate the MFS transporter family with toxin efflux and pathogenicity, though these roles are not established for this specific gene in V. dahliae.
