Comparative genomics reveals mobile pathogenicity chromosomes in Fusarium

Li-Jun Ma, +65 more
- 18 Mar 2010 - 
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

Genome sequencing and analysis of the biomass-degrading fungus Trichoderma reesei (syn. Hypocrea jecorina).

TL;DR: This work assembled 89 scaffolds to generate 34 Mbp of nearly contiguous T. reesei genome sequence comprising 9,129 predicted gene models, providing a roadmap for constructing enhanced T.Reesei strains for industrial applications such as biofuel production.
Journal ArticleDOI

A versatile toolkit for high throughput functional genomics with Trichoderma reesei

TL;DR: A construction kit for gene knock out in T. reesei and a primer database for gene deletion using the pyr4, amdS and hph selection markers are provided to boost research towards efficient exploitation of the resources of T.Reesei for cellulase expression and hence second generation biofuel production.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Fusarium graminearum Genome Reveals a Link Between Localized Polymorphism and Pathogen Specialization

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

Comparative genome sequence analysis underscores mycoparasitism as the ancestral life style of Trichoderma

Christian P. Kubicek, +64 more
- 18 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: A better understanding of mycoparasitism is offered, and the development of improved biocontrol strains for efficient and environmentally friendly protection of plants is enforced.
