Genome-wide structural variants uncover strain-specific genes and evolutionary genomic determinants of a fungal maize pathogen
Genomic structural variants (SVs) are important sources of genetic diversity and contribute to the adaptation and evolution of plant-pathogenic fungi. Colletotrichum graminicola, the causal agent of maize (Zea mays L.) anthracnose, causes significant yield losses and serves as an important model for genetic studies. To...
