Botryosphaeria dothidea: a latent pathogen of global importance to woody plant health

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
This pathogen profile synthesizes the current understanding of B. dothidea pertaining to its distribution, host associations and role as a pathogen in managed and natural woody environments, as well as elucidating previously unknown aspects of the species, including mating and host infection strategies.

Giant <i>Starship</i> Elements Mobilize Accessory Genes in Fungal Genomes

TL;DR: In this article , the authors show that variation in genome content within multiple fungal species is facilitated by Starships, a newly discovered group of massive mobile elements that are 110 kb long on average, share conserved components, and carry diverse arrays of accessory genes.

Increased abundance of secreted hydrolytic enzymes and secondary metabolite gene clusters define the genomes of latent plant pathogens in the Botryosphaeriaceae

TL;DR: The South African National Research Foundation (NRF), the University of Pretoria and the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI)/National Research Foundation Centre of Excellence in Tree Health Biotechnology (CBEB) as discussed by the authors were the main contributors to this project.

Host specificity of co-infecting Botryosphaeriaceae on ornamental and forest trees in the Western Balkans

TL;DR: This work has been funded by the Tree Protection Co-operative Programme, the University of Pretoria, South Africa, and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia.

Genome-scale data resolve ancestral rock-inhabiting lifestyle in Dothideomycetes (Ascomycota).

TL;DR: A phylogenomic approach is used to resolve relationships in Dothideomycetes, focusing on two genera of melanized, extremotolerant rock-inhabiting fungi, Lichenothelia and Saxomyces, that have been suggested to be early diverging lineages.

OUP accepted manuscript

TL;DR: In this article , the taxa profile and behaviour of microbial communities associated with the wood of 20-year-old grapevine plants are investigated through metatranscriptomics whether the microbial communities are influenced by the health status of the host, highlighting that this approach is able to define the microbial community better than referenced transcriptomic approaches.

MAFFT Multiple Sequence Alignment Software Version 7: Improvements in Performance and Usability

TL;DR: This version of MAFFT has several new features, including options for adding unaligned sequences into an existing alignment, adjustment of direction in nucleotide alignment, constrained alignment and parallel processing, which were implemented after the previous major update.

RAxML version 8: a tool for phylogenetic analysis and post-analysis of large phylogenies.

TL;DR: This work presents some of the most notable new features and extensions of RAxML, such as a substantial extension of substitution models and supported data types, the introduction of SSE3, AVX and AVX2 vector intrinsics, techniques for reducing the memory requirements of the code and a plethora of operations for conducting post-analyses on sets of trees.

MAFFT: a novel method for rapid multiple sequence alignment based on fast Fourier transform

TL;DR: A simplified scoring system is proposed that performs well for reducing CPU time and increasing the accuracy of alignments even for sequences having large insertions or extensions as well as distantly related sequences of similar length.

The endophytic continuum.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the endophytes, in contrast to known pathogens, generally have far greater phenotypic plasticity and thus more options than pathogens: infection, local but also extensive colonisation, latency, virulence, pathogenity and (or) saprophytism.
