Fusarium fujikuroi B14 Genome sequencing and assembly. Fusarium fujikuroi B14

Fusarium fujikuroi B14, a member of the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex (synonym: Gibberella fujikuroi Mating Population C), was isolated from rice in South Korea. The species identification was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequences of TEF1 (Eukaryotic translation elongation facotr1 alpha) and RBP2 (RNA polymerase 2 beta subunit). F. fujikuroi is known to cause bakanae disease in rice, and produce several secondary metabolites such as gibberellins, moniliformin, beauvericin and fumonisins in infected plants.
