Application

Application Comment Organism
agriculture both genes coding for NAD(P)H oxidases, Nox1 and Nox2, are independently required for pathogenicity of Magnaporthe grisea. Mutants lacking either nox1 or nox2 are incapable of causing plant disease because of unability to bring about appresorium-mediated cuticle penetration Pyricularia grisea

additional information both genes coding for NAD(P)H oxidases, Nox1 and Nox2, are independently required for pathogenicity. Mutants lacking either nox1 or nox2 are incapable of causing plant disease because of unability to bring about appresorium-mediated cuticle penetration. A nox1nox2 double mutant shows significant increase in superoxide production at the hyphal tips Pyricularia grisea
