Mating-type locus rearrangement leads to shift from homothallism to heterothallism in <i>Citrus</i> -associated <i>Phyllosticta</i> species
2020-04-15
Abstract excerpt
Currently, eight Phyllosticta species are known to be associated with Citrus hosts, incorporating endophytic and pathogenic lifestyles. As sexual reproduction is a key factor involved in host-interaction, it could be related to the differences in lifestyle. To evaluate this hypothesis, we characterized the mating-type loci of six Citrus- associated Phyllosticta species from whole genome assemblies. Mating-type...
