Velvet-domain-containing protein that acts as a positive regulator of sexual development (PubMed:24632440). Plays an important role in pathogenicity through regulating positively appressorium-mediated penetration and invasive growth (PubMed:24632440). Leads to reduced formation of conidia (PubMed:24632440). Exhibits significantly reduced pathogenicity, developing only a few small necrotic lesions (PubMed:24632440). Belongs to the velvet family. VelC subfamily.
