Summary The conserved Spt‐Ada‐Gcn5‐Acetyltransferase (SAGA) complex controls eukaryotic transcription by modifying acetylation of histones. However, the mechanisms for this complex in regulating the transcription of target‐specific genes remain largely unknown in phytopathogenic fungi. A filamentous...
