Analysis of expressed sequence tag data and gene expression profiles involved in conidial germination of Fusarium oxysporum

Appl Environ Microbiol. 2006 Feb;72(2):1667-71. doi: 10.1128/AEM.72.2.1667-1671.2006.

Abstract

We obtained 3,372 tentative unique transcripts (TUTs) from a cDNA library of Fusarium oxysporum. A cDNA array with 3,158 TUTs was produced to analyze gene expression profiles in conidial germination. It seems that ras and other signaling genes, e.g., ccg, cooperatively initiate conidial germination in Fusarium by increasing protein synthesis.
