Article Synopsis
- The lab studied a specific gene encoding an arginine methyltransferase that influences aflatoxin production and developmental processes in a fungus responsible for contaminating various oil seed crops.
- RNA sequencing revealed that this gene affects over 2000 other genes, including many related to stress responses and a potential new compound synthesis.
- Interestingly, while the gene was not crucial for the fungus's ability to cause disease in animals, its increased expression led to higher mortality rates compared to the standard strain.
