Zusammenfassung:Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is one of the more economically important pathogen causing anthracnose on crops and trees worldwide. As an essential mineral nutrient, potassium play a vital role for fundamental cellular processes in organisms. In this study, a high-affinity potassium transporter CgTrk1 was identified in C. gloeosporioides. Cytological examinations revealed that CgTrk1 was localized in the plasma membrane. The gene deletion mutant of CgTRK1 significantly depressed the potassium uptake. CgTrk1 is also required for vegetative growth, appressorium development, invasive growth, and full virulence. The data also indicate that CgTrk1 plays dominant roles in potassium uptake and pathogenicity rather than its homologous protein CgTrk2. These results imply that the potassium transporter CgTrk1 is involved in invasive growth and full virulence in C. gloeosporioides.
