Transposable elements in genomic architecture of Monilinia fungal phytopathogens and TE-driven DMI-resistance adaptation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fungicide resistance poses a significant challenge to plant disease management and influences the evolutionary dynamics of fungal pathogens. Besides being important phytopathogens, Monilinia species have become a model for discovering many fundamental questions related to fungal pathosystems. In this study, DMI-propiconazole sensitivity was investigated in view of transposable element (TE) dynamics in M. fructicola and M. laxa.

Results

Propiconazole-sensitivity of 109 M. fructicola and 20 M. laxa isolates from different regions of Türkiye was assessed. Comprehensive TE identification within the species revealed that Class I elements were predominant, and TEs constituted approximately 9% of the genome for both M. fructicola and M. laxa, with a total of 15,327 and 1
