Journal ArticleDOI
Transformation of Aspergillus based on the hygromycin B resistance marker from Escherichia coli.
TL;DR: A new, heterologous, dominant marker for selection of Aspergillus transformants is described, based on the Escherichia coli hygromycin B (HmB) phosphotransferase gene (hph), which confers HmB resistance to As pergillus species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of a new disease as a result of interspecific virulence gene transfer.

TL;DR: Evidence that a gene encoding a critical virulence factor was transferred from one species of fungal pathogen to another probably occurred just before 1941, creating a pathogen population with significantly enhanced virulence and leading to the emergence of a new damaging disease of wheat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finished Genome of the Fungal Wheat Pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola Reveals Dispensome Structure, Chromosome Plasticity, and Stealth Pathogenesis

TL;DR: The genome of M. graminicola was sequenced completely and found that it contained very few genes for enzymes that break down plant cell walls, which was more similar to endophytes than to pathogens, which may have evolved from endophytic ancestors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effector diversification within compartments of the Leptosphaeria maculans genome affected by Repeat-Induced Point mutations

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
A unique wheat disease resistance-like gene governs effector-triggered susceptibility to necrotrophic pathogens
Justin D. Faris,Zengcui Zhang,Huangjun Lu,Shunwen Lu,Leela Reddy,Sylvie Cloutier,John P. Fellers,Steven W. Meinhardt,Jack B. Rasmussen,Steven S. Xu,Richard P. Oliver,Kristin Simons,Timothy L. Friesen +12 more
TL;DR: The cloning of Tsn1 was found to have disease resistance gene-like features, including S/TPK and NBS-LRR domains, which suggests that these necrotrophic pathogens may thrive by subverting the resistance mechanisms acquired by plants to combat other pathogens.
