Role of AREA, a regulator of nitrogen metabolism, during colonization of maize kernels and fumonisin biosynthesis in Fusarium verticillioides

Fumonisin B1 (FB 1) biosynthesis is repressed in cultures containing ammonium as the nitrogen source and when grown on blister kernels, the earliest stages of kernel development. In this study AREA, a regulator of nitrogen metabolism, was disrupted in Fusarium verticilliodes. The mutant (ΔareA) grew...
