The invention relates to methods for identifying fungicides, to nucleic acids which encode fungal polypeptides with the biological activity of glyoxal oxidases, to the polypeptides encoded by them, to their use as targets for fungicides, their use for identifying new fungicidally active compounds, to methods for finding modulators of these polypeptides, and to transgenic organisms containing these polyypeptides.
