Sucrose non-fermenting protein kinase gene UvSnf1 is required for virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens by Hui Wen, Shuai Meng, Shuwei Xie, Huanbin Shi, Jiehua Qiu, Nan Jiang, Yanjun Kou

“…Further analyses showed that CWDEs (UvCut1 and UvXyp1) are not only involved in growth, spore production, and virulence but are also required for the utilization of carbon sources. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that UvSnf1 plays vital roles in virulence and carbon source utilization in U. virens, and one of the possible mechanisms is playing a role in regulating the expression of CWDE genes.…”
