TL;DR: Although the origin(s) of the extra genes and the supernumerary chromosomes is not known, the gene expansion and its large genome size are consistent with this species' diverse range of habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular karyotypes for alternaria plant pathogens known to produce host-specific toxins
Hajime Akamatsu,Masatoki Taga,Motoichiro Kodama,Richard D. Johnson,Hiroshi Otani,Keisuke Kohmoto +5 more
TL;DR: Inter- and intra-specific variation among Alternaria taxa, including HST-producers, was determined by electrophoretic karyotyping using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and Southern analysis using rDNA as a probe could, in some cases, differentiate between them.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chromosome complement of the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium graminearum based on genetic and physical mapping and cytological observations.
Liane R. Gale,Je'Nise Bryant,Sarah E. Calvo,Henriette Giese,Talma Katan,Kerry O'Donnell,Haruhisa Suga,Masatoki Taga,Thomas Usgaard,Todd J. Ward,H. C. Kistler,H. C. Kistler +11 more
TL;DR: A genetic map of the filamentous fungus Fusarium graminearum was constructed to both validate and augment the draft whole-genome sequence assembly of strain PH-1, finding variation in recombination rate in different genomic regions that often spanned several hundred kilobases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrophoretic and cytological karyotyping of the foliar wheat pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola reveals many chromosomes with a large size range
TL;DR: The karyotypes of three isolates of Mycosphaerella graminicola, the septoria tritici blotch pathogen of wheat, were analyzed with both pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and the cytological technique called germ tube burst method (GTBM), which revealed a chromosome length polymorphism among these isolates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visualization of mitotic chromosomes in filamentous fungi by fluorescence staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization
Masatoki Taga,Minoru Murata +1 more
TL;DR: Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was successfully applied to the chromosomes of filamentous fungi, revealing one ribosomal RNA gene cluster, or nucleolus organizer region (NOR) in the genome of each fungus.
