[Miin-Huey Lee] Comparative genomics of three Colletotrichum scovillei strains and genetic analysis revealed genes involved in fungal growth and virulence on chili pepper
Colletotrichum scovillei causes anthracnose of chili pepper in many countries. Three strains of this pathogen (Coll-524, Coll-153, and Coll-365) show varied virulence on chili pepper. Comparative genomics and genetic analysis of the three strains identified genes located in a 34-kb genomic fragment contributing to growth/virulence defects of low virulent strain Coll-365. (Hsieh et al., 2022).
