Fungicide resistance towards fludioxonil conferred by overexpression of the phosphatase gene Mo PTP 2 in Magnaporthe oryzae

What is it about?

Elucidation of the molecular principles of fungicide resistance is of great importance in order to identify new antifungal drugs and understanding fungal physiology. In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that overexpression of the phosphatase MoPtp2p represents a novel molecular mechanism of fludioxonil resistance in a filamentous pathogen – the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae.
