The Slt2-Swi6 signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in regulating cell wall biosynthesis, secondary metabolite production, and the pathogenicity of pear fungal A. alternata

A physical interaction is identified between AaSlt2 and Swi6/RlmA, suggesting that these components are critical for cell wall synthesis, which advances the understanding of pathogenic mechanisms of A. alternata and proposes potential strategies for controlling postharvest diseases.
