Comparative genomics and prediction of conditionally dispensable sequences in legume–infecting Fusarium oxysporum formae speciales facilitates identification of candidate effectors
2016
Background Soil-borne fungi of the
Fusarium oxysporum
species complexcause devastating
wilt diseaseon many crops including
legumesthat supply human dietary
protein needsacross many parts of the globe. We present and compare draft genome assemblies for three
legume-infecting formae speciales (ff. spp.): F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc-38-1) and f. sp. pisi (Fop-37622), significant pathogens of chickpea and pea respectively, the world’s second and third most important grain
legumes, and lastly f. sp. medicaginis (Fom-5190a) for which we developed a model
