Abstract
conidia germination. These results demonstrate that specific transcription factors recruit the TaADA2-TaGCN5 histone acetyltransferase complex to epigenetically regulate biosynthesis of wheat cuticular wax, which is required for triggering germination of the adapted powdery mildew pathogen.
