Although genes involved in the Kennedy pathway have not yet been reported in A. oryzae, we identified genes encoding homologous proteins of Eki1, Ect1, Ept1, Cki1, Pct1, and Cpt1 in SGD, and designated these genes as follows; ekiA, ectA, eptA, ckiA, cctA, and cptA (Table S1). This evidence concerns the gene TCP1 and specific granule deficiency.
