Anthracnose is one of the most important diseases occurring on Camellia oleifera. The dominant pathogen causing the disease is Colletotrichum fructicola which is common in C. oleifera producing areas all over the country. Previous study recognized that the histone acetyltransferase CfGcn5 regulated growth, development and pathogenicity of C. fructicola, but the functions of histone deacetylases remain unknown. In this study, the reverse genetics method was adopted to comparatively analyze the biological phenotypes of wide-type, CfSNT2 gene knoc...
