Summary:Agrobactedum tumefac/ens-mediated transformation (ATMT) is an efficient tool for insertional mutagenesis and is used in a wide variety of plants. This paper reports a promoter trapping method to generate mutants in the filamentous fungus, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, by ATMT insertion of a trapping vector (pCAHPH) that carries a promoterless hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph) gone. Transformants were selected on the media containing 200 ~mL hy~omycin B, and screened for pathogenicity-related gene mdtants. Their pathogenicity-related mutants T-DNA flanking sequences were then cloned and analyzed. Hph genes were amplified from mutant genomic DNA but not from wild-type DNA, indicating that the phenotypic alternations of these mutants were the results of T-DNA inser- tion. T-DNA flanking sequences were obtained using modified themud asymmetric interlaced PCR. Two right-sided flanking sequences were highly homologous to proteins from other species.
