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 1.5kb of targeting sequence.Entities:
