The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase VdPbs2 of Verticillium dahliae regulates microsclerotia formation, stress response, and plant infection

Verticillium dahliae, a ubiquitous phytopathogenic fungus, forms resting structures, known as microsclerotia that play crucial roles in Verticillium wilt diseases. VdHog1, a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), controls microsclerotia formation, virulence, and stress response in V. dahliae. In t...
