Project description:In Aspergillus sp., BrlA is a master transcription factor essential for the induction of conidiogenesis. Sometimes it is also involved in the secondary metabolism. The aim of this study was to characterize the role of BrlA in Penicillium expansum. For that a null mutant PeΔBrlA was generated.
Project description:Penicillium digitatum is the pathogen of Green mold in Postharvest citrus. After inoculating Penicillium digitatum into the wound of citrus to infect it, transcriptome sequencing was carried out and compared with the results of transcriptome sequencing of Penicillium digitatum before inoculation in order to screen the differentially expressed genes and reveal its infection mechanism.
