StRAB4 gene is required for filamentous growth, conidial development, and pathogenicity in Setosphaeria turcica

Setosphaeria turcica, the fungal pathogen responsible for northern corn leaf blight in maize, forms specialized infectious structures called appressoria that are critical for fungal penetration of maize epidermal cells. The Rab family of proteins play a crucial role in the growth, development, and p...
