Chromosome-End Knockoff Strategy to Reshape Alkaloid Profiles of a Fungal Endophyte [PDF]
G3 Genes|Genomes|Genetics, 2016 AbstractMolecular genetic techniques to precisely eliminate genes in asexual filamentous fungi require the introduction of a marker gene into the target genome. We developed a novel strategy to eliminate genes or gene clusters located in subterminal regions of chromosomes, and then eliminate the marker gene and vector backbone used in the ...

Evolution of fungal sex chromosomes
Molecular Microbiology, 2004 SummarySexual reproduction enables organisms to shuffle two parental genomes to produce recombinant progeny, and to purge the genome of deleterious mutations. Sex is conserved in virtually all organisms, from bacteria and fungi to plants and animals, and yet the mechanisms by which sexual identity are established share both conserved general features ...

A fungal wheat pathogen evolved host specialization by extensive chromosomal rearrangements [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2017 AbstractFungal pathogens can rapidly evolve virulence towards resistant crops in agricultural ecosystems. Gains in virulence are often mediated by the mutation or deletion of a gene encoding a protein recognized by the plant immune system. However, the loci and the mechanisms of genome evolution enabling rapid virulence evolution are poorly understood.

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2018 Fungal pathogen genomes can often be divided into core and accessory regions. Accessory regions ARs) may be comprised of either ARs (within core chromosomes (CCs) or wholly dispensable (accessory) chromosomes (ACs).

Evolution within the fungal genus Verticillium is characterized by chromosomal rearrangement and gene loss [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology, 2017 SUMMARY The fungal genus Verticillium contains ten species, some of which are notorious plant pathogens causing vascular wilt diseases in host plants, while others are known as saprophytes and opportunistic plant pathogens. Whereas the genome of V. dahliae

Higher Gene Flow in Sex-Related Chromosomes than in Autosomes during Fungal Divergence [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2019 AbstractNonrecombining sex chromosomes are widely found to be more differentiated than autosomes among closely related species, due to smaller effective population size and/or to a disproportionally large-X effect in reproductive isolation. Although fungal mating-type chromosomes can also display large nonrecombining regions, their levels of ...

Chromosome-level genome assembly of a human fungal pathogen reveals synteny among geographically distinct species [PDF]
mBio, 2021 Abstract Histoplasma capsulatum , a dimorphic fungal pathogen, is the most common cause of fungal respiratory infections in immunocompetent hosts. Histoplasma is endemic in the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys in the United States and also distributed worldwide ...
