Cloning and Characterization of a Cyclic Peptide Synthetase Gene from Alternaria alternata Apple Pathotype Whose Product Is Involved in AM-Toxin Synthesis and Pathogenicity

Alternaria alternata apple pathotype causes Alternaria blotch of susceptible apple cultivars through the production of a cyclic peptide host-specific toxin, AM-toxin. PCR (polymerase chain reaction), with primers designed to conserved domains of peptide synthetase genes, amplified several products f...
