Comparative genomic analysis revealed rapid differentiation in the pathogenicity-related gene repertoires between <i>Pyricularia oryzae</i> and <i>Pyricularia penniseti</i> isolated from a <i>Pennisetum</i> grass

Abstract excerpt
<h4>Backgrounds</h4> Pyricularia is a multispecies complex that could infect and cause severe blast disease on diverse hosts, including rice, wheat and many other grasses. Although the genome size of this fungal complex is small [~40 Mbp for Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae ), and ~45 Mbp for P. grisea ], the genome plasticity allows the fungus to jump and adapt to new hosts. Therefore, deciphering...
