Expression and role of CYP505A1 in pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae

ConclusionsThe ability of CYP505A1 to oxidize fatty acids present in the cortical cell membranes together with its differential expression in its Fusarium antagonistic form point out to the possibility that this enzyme is associated with Fusarium pathogenicity in lettuce.General significanceThe CYP505 clan is present in pathogenic fungal phyla, making CYP505A1 enzyme a putative candidate as a new target for the development of novel antifungal molecules.Graphical abstract
