Fungal Comparative Genomics of Juglanconis species and Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum

The goal of this study was to compare the genomes of four isolates of Juglanconis and one isolate of Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum. These fungi are all members of the order Diaporthales and all cause disease on Juglans, a genus that includes walnut and butternut. Comparing these similar pathogens will aid in understanding their biology and how they cause disease.

本研究的宗旨在于对比分析四种 Juglanconis 分离株以及一种 Ophiognomonia clavigignenti-juglandacearum 分离株的基因组。此类真菌均为 Diaporthales 目的成员，且均侵袭 Juglans 属植物，该属包括核桃和胡桃木。对这些相似病原体的比较研究将有助于深入理解其生物学特性及其致病机制。
