Conservation of a gene cluster reveals novel cercosporin biosynthetic mechanisms and extends production to the genus <i>Colletotrichum</i>
2017-01-15
Abstract excerpt
Species in the genus Cercospora cause economically devastating diseases in sugar beet, maize, rice, soy bean and other major food crops. Here we sequenced the genome of the sugar beet pathogen C. beticola and found it encodes 63 putative secondary metabolite gene clusters, including the cercosporin toxin biosynthesis ( CTB ) cluster. We show that the CTB gene cluster has experienced multiple duplications and h...
