The lysine deacetylases AsKDAC1 and AsKDAC6 regulate growth, stress response, and virulence in Apiospora sphaerosperma.
BACKGROUND Shoot dieback caused by Apiospora sphaerosperma severely compromises the ecological and economic value of Bambusa pervariabilis × grandis. Reversible lysine acetylation has emerged as an important regulator of fungal pathogenesis, yet the functions of lysine deacetylases (KDACs) in A. sphaerosperma remain po...
