What lies behind the large genome of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum.

ABSTRACT: Colletotrichum lindemuthianum is the etiological agent of anthracnose disease in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), noted for its ability to cause serious damage and significant pathogenic variability. This study reveals the features of the high-quality genome of C. lindemuthianum. Analysis showed improvements over the first assembly, with the refined genome having 119 scaffolds, ten times fewer than the first, and a 19% increase in gene number. The effector candidates increased by nearly 1.5 times. More than 40% of the amino acid sequences with homologs in the Pathogen-Host Interactions (PHI-base) database are linked to pathogenicity. Of 18 putative proteins identified as Chitinase-like Protein, six have a mutation in the enzyme catalytic motif, and three showed gen
