Genomic rearrangements generate hypervariable mini-chromosomes in host-specific lineages of the blast fungus

2020-01-11

Abstract excerpt

Supernumerary mini-chromosomes–a unique type of genomic structural variation–have been implicated in the emergence of virulence traits in plant pathogenic fungi. However, the mechanisms that facilitate the emergence and maintenance of mini-chromosomes across fungi remain poorly understood. In the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae , mini-chromosomes have been first described in the early 1990s but, until very recent...
