The Adenylate Cyclase-Encoding Gene crac Is Involved in Clonostachys rosea Mycoparasitism.

ABSTRACT: Clonostachys rosea is an excellent biocontrol fungus against numerous fungal plant pathogens. The cAMP signaling pathway is a crucial signal transduction pathway in fungi. To date, the role of the cAMP signaling pathway in C. rosea mycoparasitism remains unknown. An adenylate cyclase-encoding gene, crac (an important component of the cAMP signaling pathway), was previously screened from C. rosea 67-1, and its expression level was dramatically upregulated during the C. rosea mycoparasitization of the sclerotia of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In this study, the function of crac in C. rosea mycoparasitism was explored through gene knockout and complementation. The obtained results show that the deletion of crac influenced the growth
