Elucidation of adaptive evolutionary patterns in an mycotoxigenic emerging pathogen Fusarium proliferatum: Development of the genome sequence of biogeographically diverse isolates. Fusarium proliferatum strain:ITEM 2341

Fusarium proliferatum is an emerging pathogen associated with diverse plant hosts and distributed in wide geographic locations. F. proliferatum is recognised as a major mycotoxigenic species among crop pathogenic Fusariums. The aim of this study is to further our understanding of the genetic diversity, biological variability including fumonisin production, and the genomic architecture in F. proliferatum. We have used collection of 52 isolates representing different hosts and geographic locations. The genome sequence data has been generated for four distinctive isolates. The overall goal is to gain insights into the adaptive evolutionary patterns of this pathogen with reference to its biogeographic diversity.

层出镰刀菌（Fusarium proliferatum）是一类新兴病原真菌，可侵染多种植物宿主且地理分布范围广泛。该菌是引发作物病害的镰刀菌属（Fusarium）物种中，被公认为主要的产真菌毒素类群。本研究旨在深化对层出镰刀菌遗传多样性、包括伏马菌素（fumonisin）合成能力在内的生物学特性变异，以及基因组结构特征的认知。本研究收集了涵盖不同宿主与地理来源的52株菌株，并对其中4株具有独特特征的菌株完成了基因组测序。本研究的整体目标是结合该菌的生物地理多样性，深入解析其适应性进化模式。
