Analysis of the hybrid genomes of two field isolates of the soil-borne fungal species Verticillium longisporum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Brassica plant species are attacked by a number of pathogens; among them, the ones with a soil-borne lifestyle have become increasingly important. Verticillium stem stripe caused by Verticillium longisporum is one example. This fungal species is thought to be of a hybrid origin, having a genome composed of combinations of lineages denominated A and D. In this study we report the draft genomes of 2 V. longisporum field isolates sequenced using the Illumina technology. Genomic characterization and lineage composition, followed by selected gene analysis to facilitate the comprehension of its genomic features and potential effector categories were performed.

Results

The draft genomes of 2 Verticillium longisporum single spore isolates (VL1 and VL2) have an estimated u
