Abstract
(DdVam7) that was involved in vacuole assembly in hyphae and ring cells and played important roles in vegetative growth, conidiation, trap morphogenesis, and ring cell inflation. Overall, this study expands our understanding of biological functions of the SNARE proteins and vacuole assembly in NTF trap morphogenesis and provides a foundation for further study of ring cell rapid inflation mechanisms.
