Abstract

Background: The bZIP-type transcription factors are widely distributed in eukaryotes to control an array of biological activities. Results: MBZ1 from Metarhizium robertsii regulates fungal growth, cell wall integrity, spore adherence, and virulence against insects. Conclusion: MBZ1 is required for development and virulence of insect pathogenic fungi. Significance: The orthologs of bZIP-type transcription factors are functionally divergent in different organisms.
