Arabidopsis Acyl-CoA Binding Protein 4, ACBP4, functions in developmentally programmed endoreduplication
Powdery mildew fungi induce localized endoreduplication, a variant of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated but cells do not divide, in leaf mesophyll cells underlying the fungal feeding structure. Induced endoreduplication occurs concurrent with powdery mildew (PM) spore production and is associated with enhanced...
