The genome of the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae reveals extensive bacterial to fungal gene transfer
2018-12-03
Abstract excerpt
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) involves the transmission of genetic material between distinct evolutionary lineages and can be an important source of biological innovation. Reports of inter-kingdom HGT to eukaryotic microbial pathogens have accumulated over recent years. Verticillium dahliae is a notorious plant pathogen that causes vascular wilt disease on hundreds of plant species, resulting in high economic los...
