Genome Sequencing of the Plant Pathogen <i>Taphrina deformans</i> , the Causal Agent of Peach Leaf Curl
1 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Taphrina deformans is a fungus responsible for peach leaf curl, an important plant disease. It is phylogenetically assigned to the Taphrinomycotina subphylum, which includes the fission yeast and the mammalian pathogens of the genus Pneumocystis. We describe here the genome of T. deformans in the light of its dual plant-saprophytic/plant-parasitic lifestyle. The 13.3-Mb genome contains few...
