Genomic insights into bamboo witches' broom disease: pathogenicity and phytohormone biosynthesis in Aciculosporium take.

ABSTRACT: Bamboo witches' broom disease (WBD), caused by Aciculosporium take Miyake, devastates bamboo forests. Understanding the genome and pathogenic factors of pathogen is crucial for disease control. We employed single-molecule real-time sequencing, Illumina paired-end sequencing, and chromatin interaction mapping techniques to assemble the genome of A. take CCTCC-M2023413, analyze pathogenicity- and phytohormone-biosynthesis-related genes, and compare it to 12 other WBD pathogens. The genome of A. take is 59.24 Mb in size, with 54.32% repeats, 7 chromosomes, 7,105 protein-coding genes, 84 ribosomal RNAs, and 115 transfer RNAs. Predictive analysis of pathogenicity genes found 237 carbohydrate-active enzymes, 1,069 membrane transport proteins, 1,040 pathogen-host interaction
