Functional Characterization of Two Adjacent Oxygenase Genes, SsOxy1 and SsOxy2, Reveals Their Critical Roles in Sclerotial Development, Stress Tolerance, and Pathogenicity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a notoriously destructive, broad-host-range necrotrophic fungus responsible for devastating crop losses worldwide. Although genes encoding oxygenases are ubiquitous in fungal genomes, and the encoded enzymes play instrumental roles in driving diverse biochemical cascades, their specific func...
