Host Recognition and Specific Infection of Endomelanconiopsis endophytica during Early Infection.

ABSTRACT: Coevolution between the pathogen and host plant drives pathogenic effector diversity. However, the molecular mechanism behind host-specific pathogenesis remains to be explored. Here, we present a 43 Mb whole-genome sequence of Endomelanconiopsis endophytica strain LS29, a host-specific pathogen of the common subtropical tree Castanopsis fissa. We described its genome annotations and identified its effector candidates. By performing temporal transcriptome sequencing of E. endophytica on C. fissa during early infection, we found that E. endophytica repressed other microbes in order to attack the tissue of the host by producing antibiotics earlier than 24 h post-inoculation (hpi). Simultaneously, a variety of effectors were secreted to recognize the host pla
