TL;DR: Comparison of genomes of three phenotypically diverse Fusarium species revealed lineage-specific genomic regions in F. oxysporum that include four entire chromosomes and account for more than one-quarter of the genome, putting the evolution of fungal pathogenicity into a new perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome of the filamentous fungus Fusarium graminearum, a major pathogen of cultivated cereals, was sequenced and annotated and many highly polymorphic regions contained sets of genes implicated in plant-fungus interactions and were unusually divergent, with higher rates of recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Dothideomycetes are one of the largest groups of fungi with a high level of ecological diversity including many plant pathogens infecting a broad range of hosts as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomic analysis of type I polyketide synthase genes in pathogenic and saprobic ascomycetes
TL;DR: A phylogenomic approach was used to investigate the origin and diversity of fungal genes encoding putative PKSs that are predicted to synthesize type I PKs and found that the discontinuous distributions of orthologous P KSs among fungal species can be explained by gene duplication, divergence, and gene loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genome sequence of the phytopathogenic ascomycete Leptosphaeria maculans is reported and its repertoire of protein effectors is characterized, revealing an unusual bipartite structure that underpins the evolutionary potential of the fungus to adapt rapidly to novel host-derived constraints.
