Erysiphe pulchra isolate:Cflorida Genome sequencing and assembly

Currently, genomic and genetic resources available to understand or combat the damage caused by powdery mildews are lacking and phylogenies are largely unresolved. There is a critical need to expand the scope of research to additional PM pathosystems and describe the molecular and physical mechanisms of plant-microbe interactions that directly and negatively impact U.S. agriculture, particularly the ornamental industry. Therefore, genome sequencing of Erysiphe pulchra was undertaken to develop a draft genome that can be used for host/pathogen studies and for developing molecular markers for population studies.

当前，用于理解或对抗由粉状疫病造成的损害的基因组学和遗传资源尚显不足，且系统发育关系尚未得到充分解析。迫切需要扩大研究范围，涵盖更多的粉状疫病病原系统，并描述植物与微生物相互作用中的分子和物理机制，这些机制直接且负面对美国农业，尤其是观赏植物产业造成影响。因此，对粉状疫病菌属的粉锈菌（Erysiphe pulchra）进行了基因组测序，旨在开发一个可供宿主/病原体研究以及用于群体研究中分子标记开发的草图基因组。
