Abstract:The complete genome sequence and comparative effectorome of Sporisorium panicileucophaei: the causal smut disease agent in sourgrass (Digitaria insularis) Fungi of the Ustilaginaceae family are the main causal agents of smut disease in Poaceae plants, resulting in significant agronomic and economic losses. Smut species have a biotrophic lifestyle, which depends on a close interaction with a host to complete their life cycle and produce spores (2n). The fungus Sporisorium panici-leucophaei (Spl) infects and col… Show more
