Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: TasHyd1
  • Gene Name: hydrophobin 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Trichoderma asperellum

Functional Descriptions:

  • TasHyd1, a new hydrophobin gene from the biocontrol agent Trichoderma asperellum, is involved in plant root colonization.
  • Carbon limitation stimulates expression of TasHyd1 whereas nitrogen or phosphate starvation down-regulate expression.
  • TasHyd1 fused to an HA tag was over-expressed in Trichoderma and the protein was detected with an anti-HA antibody in the trifluoroacetic-acid-soluble fraction of mycelial cell walls.
  • TasHyd1 deletion mutants had no significant reduction in in vitro mycoparasitic activity but were altered in their wettability and were severely impaired in root attachment and colonization.
  • These phenotypes were recovered by complementation of TasHyd1, indicating that the protein is a new hydrophobin that contributes to Trichoderma interaction with the plant.
