In order to more easily ramify throughout the host tissue, the hyphae release enzymes which break down host-specific proteins. Some such enzymes include cutinase, proteases, pectin and pectate lyases. One enzyme, endopolygalacturonase, is a highly specialized cell wall-degrading enzyme which is critical for the growth of the mycelium.
For easier dissemination throughout the host tissue, hyphae release enzymes that degrade host-specific proteins. These include cutinase, proteases, pectinases, and pectate lyases. A key enzyme is endopolygalacturonase, a highly specialized cell wall-degrading enzyme essential for mycelial growth.
