Transposon activity eliminates a crucial fungal secondary metabolite cluster while preserving pathogenicity

2025-05-14

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Transposable elements can significantly influence the genome dynamics of clonal fungal plant pathogens. Tropical Race 4 (TR4) is a clonal lineage within the Fusarium oxysporum species complex that poses a substantial threat to global banana production. However, how transposable elements shape TR4’s genome and adaptation remains underexplored. We investigated the activity and impact of FoHeli1,...
