✦ Synopsis

The loss of pathogenicity associated with an inability to biosynthesise leucine has validated IPMDH as a potential fungicide target. This provides further evidence that biosynthetic enzymes may serve as targets for novel fungicides and has demonstrated that genetic target validation can identify new candidates for biochemical approaches to fungicide discovery.
