In the era of functional genomics, the need for tools to perform large-scale targeted and
random mutagenesis is increasing. A potential tool is Agrobacterium-mediated fungal …

Most dimorphic fungal pathogens cause respiratory disease in mammals and must therefore
possess virulence mechanisms to combat and overcome host pulmonary defenses. Over the …
