The involvement of the G-alpha protein GNA3 in the production of cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs) by Trichoderma reesei during antagonism against Pythium ultimum was investigated. cAMP content was 2.8-fold higher in the T. reesei mutant gna3QL than in the parental TU-6. The gna3QL, like TU-6, inhibited the growth of P. ultimum in dual culture assays. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the gna3QL promoted more morphological alterations of P. ultimum cell wall than TU-6. In general, gna3QL produced higher activities of CWDEs than TU-6. We therefore suggest that CWDEs production during mycoparasitism by T. reesei against P. ultimum may be associated with the level of GNA3 activity.
