Studies on plant and animal pathogenic fungi have indeed suggested that DIP2 is involved in infection-related morphogenesis like conidia, appressoria, hyphae, and spherule formation (Lu et al., 2003; Narra et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2016), where vacuole fusion–fission dynamics plays a vital role (Veses et al., 2008). Here, DIP2A is linked to infection.
