TRI12 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_09092 (TRI12) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain-containing protein, specifically a sugar transporter with transmembrane transporter activity. This gene is associated with wax anabolism, systemic acquired resistance, and immune response, and its product localizes to the vacuolar membrane and plasmalemma. TRI12 is linked to the dotC protein. Studies of related genes in other species, such as Verticillium nonalfalfae and Verticillium alfalfae, connect the MFS_Tri12-like family to similar transport functions, though these associations are not yet established for V. dahliae.
