Ancestral and recent bursts of transposition shaped the massive genomes of plant pathogenic rust fungi

2025-01-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Transposable elements (TEs) play a crucial role in genome evolution, influencing gene regulation, diversity, and genome architecture. Rust fungi of the order Pucciniales (Subphylum Pucciniomycotina) are the largest group of obligate biotrophic plant pathogens and harbor some of the largest and most TE-rich genomes - up to 1.2Gb - compared to other fungi. This global genomic expansion contrasts...
