Abstract excerpt
The basidiomycetous fungal genus, Rhizoctonia, can cause severe damage to many plants and is composed of multinucleate, binucleate, and uninucleate species differing in pathogenicity. Here we generated chromosome-scale genome assemblies of the three nuclear types of Rhizoctonia isolates. The genomic comparisons revealed that the uninucleate JN strain likely arose by somatic hybridization of two binucleate...
