Evolution and functional insights of different ancestral orthologous clades of chitin synthase genes in the fungal tree of life

Chitin synthases (CHSs) are key enzymes in the biosynthesis of chitin, an important structural component of fungal cell walls that can trigger innate immune responses in host plants and animals. Members of CHS gene family perform various functions in fungal cellular processes. Previous studies focus...
