Arsenite-resistance protein 2 (Ars2) is an important nuclear protein involved in various RNA metabolisms in animals and plants, but no Ars2 ortholog has been studied in filamentous fungi.Although it is an essential gene in most model eukaryotes, FgARS2 null mutants were viable in the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum.The deletion of FgAR
The dense microbial communities commonly associated with plants and animals should offer many opportunities for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) through described mechanisms of DNA exchange including natural transformation.However, studies of the significance of natural transformation have focused primarily on pathogens.The study presented here demon
