Article Synopsis
- Negative cofactor 2 (NC2β or FpNcb2) plays a crucial role in drug resistance and growth for the fungal pathogen Fusarium pseudograminearum, highlighting its significance in plant pathogens.
- FpNcb2 undergoes alternative splicing, resulting in two mRNA isoforms that localize in the nucleus and regulate gene expression related to drug resistance and virulence.
- The study reveals that understanding FpNcb2’s functions and its target genes could shed light on antifungal resistance mechanisms and the pathogenicity of this fungus.
