| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Genome analysis revealed that the plant pathogenic fungus, Colletotrichum orbiculare, causal agent of cucumber anthracnose, has conserved 10 homeobox genes. Among these 10 homeobox genes, 5 genes were disrupted using homologous recombination and the function of each homeobox gene was estimated through phenotypic analysis. Results cleally show that 5 homeobox genes are involved in diferrent morphogenetic process during plant infection and that these genes play important roles in pathogenicity of this fungus as pathogenicity related genes.
