A linear nonribosomal octapeptide from Fusarium graminearum facilitates cell-to-cell invasion of wheat

Fusarium graminearum is a fungal pathogen of wheat and other cereals. Here the authors identify a gene cluster in F. graminearum encoding the production of a non-ribosomal peptide that is required for infection of wheat through cell-to-cell penetration.
