Genome analysis of the esca-associated Basidiomycetes Fomitiporia mediterranea , Fomitiporia polymorpha , Inonotus vitis , and Tropicoporus texanus reveals virulence factor repertoires characteristic of white-rot fungi

Abstract excerpt

Some Basidiomycete fungi are important plant pathogens, and certain species have been associated with the grapevine trunk disease esca. We present the genomes of 4 species associated with esca: Fomitiporia mediterranea, Fomitiporia polymorpha, Tropicoporus texanus, and Inonotus vitis. We generated high-quality phased genome assemblies using long-read sequencing. The genomic and functional comparisons identified...
