Whole-Genome Resequencing Reveals Significant Genetic Differentiation Between Exserohilum turcicum Populations from Maize and Sorghum and Candidate Effector Genes Related to Host Specificity.

Abstract excerpt

Exserohilum turcicum is a devastating fungal pathogen that infects both maize and sorghum, leading to severe leaf diseases of the two crops. According to host specificity, pathogenic isolates of E. turcicum are divided into two formae speciales, namely E. turcicum f. sp. zeae and E. turcicum f. sp. sorghi. To date, the molecular mechanism underlying the host specificity of E. turcicum is marginally known. In this...
