Autophagy-related protein 4 contributes to siderophore biosynthesis, toxin production, and virulence in Alternaria alternata.
It is demonstrated that AaAtg4 is important for spore germination, siderophore biosynthesis, iron acquisition, oxidative stress resistance, and toxin production, thereby establishing its critical role in A. alternata virulence.
