T-toxin virulence genes: unconnected dots in a sea of repeats

2023-02-07

Abstract excerpt

In 1970, the Southern Corn Leaf Blight epidemic ravaged US fields to great economic loss. The outbreak was caused by never-before-seen, super-virulent, Race T of the fungus Cochliobolus heterostrophus . The functional difference between Race T and O, the previously known, far less aggressive strain, is production of T-toxin, a host-selective polyketide. Super-virulence is associated with ∼1 Mb of Race T- specific...
