Efficient targeted mutagenesis in Epichloë festucae using a split marker system

Abstract

A split-marker system for targeted gene deletion was developed for the model grass endophytic fungus Epichloë festucae. Compared to the conventional system that yields up to 25% homologous recombinants, the method resulted in 33–74% targeted deletions in E. festucae using as little as 1.5 kb of targeting sequence.
