Tox-Boxes, Fungal Secondary Metabolites, and Plant Disease

Osbourn discusses recent research that reports that the regulation of synthesis of a host-selective cyclic peptide toxin by the maize pathogen Cochliobolus carbonum is controlled by a novel pathway-specific transcription factor that may be unique to plant pathogenic fungi. She believes that secondar...

Zusammenfassung:	Osbourn discusses recent research that reports that the regulation of synthesis of a host-selective cyclic peptide toxin by the maize pathogen Cochliobolus carbonum is controlled by a novel pathway-specific transcription factor that may be unique to plant pathogenic fungi. She believes that secondary metabolites may play a far more significant role in determining the outcome of plant-pathogen interactions than has previously been anticipated.
