Abstract
The invention relates to genes isolated from Ashbya gossypii that code for proteins essential for normal fungal growth and development. The invention also includes the methods of using these proteins to discover new fungicides, based on the essentiality of the gene for normal growth and development. The invention can also be used in a screening assay to identify inhibitors that are potential fungicides.
