A chromosome-level genome assembly of <i>Thecaphora frezzii</i> , cause of peanut smut, reveals the largest genome among the true smut fungi
2026-02-05
Abstract excerpt
Peanut smut, caused by the fungus Thecaphora frezzii , is a significant disease of peanuts in Argentina. Infected plants have seeds replaced by a mass of dark teliospores, reducing yield and seed quality. To prevent the spread of the pathogen, several countries have limited import of raw peanuts from Argentina, a major grower and exporter. Following successful in vitro culture of the fungus in its haploid stage,...
