pathogenic ascomycete Gibberella zeae, and characterized the functions and cellular
localization of these genes. The GzSYN1 deletion mutant (Δgzsyn1) had 71% reduced
hyphal growth compared to the wild-type strain, but produced perithecia with normal
ascospores. Δgzsyn2 had the same hyphal growth rate as the wild-type, but completely lost
both self and female fertility. When Δgzsyn2 was spermatized for Δmat1-1 or Δmat1-2 …
