  "summary": "Ada1 (All Development Altered-1) is a conserved but poorly characterised basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor found throughout filamentous fungi. In the wheat pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum, PnAda1 is required for full virulence and is transcriptionally associated with the virulence regulator PnPf2, but its biological functions remain unclear. Here, we combined comparative RNA…",
