Targeted Genetic Engineering via Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation in Fusarium solani

Research output: Contribution to book/anthology/report/conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research › peer-review

Abstract

Members of the Fusarium solani species complex are filamentous fungi that can act as pathogens to many
crops and animals. Although relevant, a robust molecular toolbox is missing for the investigation of gene
function and metabolism. In this chapter, we describe how Agrobacterium-mediated transformation can be
used to facilitate gene targeting. A flexible vector system, based on in vivo recombination in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae, is utilized to achieve overexpression and gene deletion of targeted biosynthetic genes in F. solani
f. sp. pisi.
