Genetics and gibberellin production in Gibberella fujikuroi.
Gibberella fujikuroi (Fusarium moniliforme) is a complex group of plant pathogens. Some strains produce gibberellic acid and other gibberellins that promote growth and regulate various stages in plant development. The paper describes the research effort directed to development of genetic tools for this species. Furthermore the main features of the gibberellin biosynthetic pathway as established in Gibberella are described.
