Segmental Duplications Drive the Evolution of Accessory Regions in a Major Crop Pathogen
2023-06-07
Abstract excerpt
Many pathogens evolved compartmentalized genomes with conserved core and variable accessory regions which carry effector genes mediating virulence. The fungal plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum has such accessory regions often spanning entire chromosomes. The presence of specific accessory regions influences the host range, and horizontal transfer of some accessory regions can modify the pathogenicity of the recei...
