δ-Aminolevulinic acid synthesis is required for virulence of the wheat pathogen Stagonospora nodorum
δ-Aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) is synthesized in fungi by ALA synthase, a key enzyme in the synthesis of haem. The requirement for ALA synthase in Stagonospora nodorum to cause disease in wheat was investigated. The single gene encoding ALA synthase (Als1) was cloned and characterized. Expression anal...
