Fusarium Protein Toolkit: a web-based resource for structural and variant analysis of Fusarium species
FPT fills a knowledge gap by providing previously unavailable tools to assess structural and missense variation in proteins produced by Fusarium. FPT has the potential to deepen our understanding of pathogenic mechanisms in Fusarium, and aid the identification of genetic targets for control strategies that reduce crop diseases and mycotoxin contamination. Such targets are vital to solving the agricultural problems incited by Fusarium, particularly evolving threats resulting from climate change. Thus, FPT has the potential to contribute to improving food security and safety worldwide.
