RNA editing of the AMD1 gene is important for ascus maturation and ascospore discharge in Fusarium graminearum

Abstract Ascospores are the primary inoculum in the wheat scab fungus Fusarium graminearum that was recently shown to have sexual stage-specific A-to-I RNA editing. One of the genes with premature-stop-codons requiring A-to-I editing to encode full-length functional proteins is AMD1 that encodes a p...
