Abstract
The ToxB gene was cloned and characterized from a race 5 isolate of Pyrenop hora tritici-repentis from North Dakota. ToxB contains a 261-bp open readin g frame that encodes a 23 amino acid putative signal peptide and a 64 amino acid host-selective toxin, Ptr ToxB. Analysis of Ptr ToxB from heterologon s expression in Pichia pastoris confirms that ToxB encodes a host-selective toxin.
