Figure 2 Model for the role of Ste12 in fungal plant pathogens. Ste12 regulates mating, penetration and invasive growth downstream of PMK, whereas the remaining PMK-controlled functions are mediated by other unknown transcriptional regulators. Additional pathways may also regulate Ste12 activity. Invasive growth and penetration functions mediated by Ste12 play key roles in fungal virulence on plants.
