Identification of effector genes for the spinach Fusarium wilt pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. spinaciae

The goal of this project is to identify genetic factors that are unique to the causal agent of spinach Fusarium wilt, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. spinaciae. The approach of this project was to sequence the genomes of several F. oxysporum f. sp. spinaciae isolates as well as F. oxysporum isolates that are not pathogens of spinach, but were associated with spinach.

本项目旨在鉴定引发菠菜镰刀菌枯萎病（spinach Fusarium wilt）的致病病原菌——尖孢镰刀菌菠菜专化型（Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. spinaciae）所特有的遗传因子。本项目采用的研究方法为：对多株尖孢镰刀菌菠菜专化型分离株，以及虽与菠菜相关但并非菠菜致病菌的尖孢镰刀菌（Fusarium oxysporum）分离株开展基因组测序。
