The plasma membrane H⁺ -ATPase FgPMA1 regulates the development, pathogenicity, and phenamacril sensitivity of Fusarium graminearum by interacting with FgMyo-5 and FgBmh2.

ABSTRACT: Fusarium graminearum, as the causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), not only causes yield loss, but also contaminates the quality of wheat by producing mycotoxins, such as deoxynivalenol (DON). The plasma membrane H⁺ -ATPases play important roles in many growth stages in plants and yeasts, but their functions and regulation in phytopathogenic fungi remain largely unknown. Here we characterized two plasma membrane H⁺ -ATPases: FgPMA1 and FgPMA2 in F. graminearum. The FgPMA1 deletion mutant (∆FgPMA1), but not FgPMA2 deletion mutant (∆FgPMA2), was impaired in vegetative growth, pathogenicity, and sexual and asexual development. FgPMA1 was localized to the plasma membrane, and ∆FgPMA1 displayed reduced integrity of plasma membrane. ∆FgPMA1 not only impaired the forma
