Carbohydrate active enzymes (CAZy) regulate cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzymes in Colletotrichum falcatum causing red rot in sugarcane.

ABSTRACT: Colletotrichum falcatum, an ascomycete pathogen causes red rot of sugarcane which is specialized to infect cane stalks. Cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzymes are necessary for degradation of plant cell wall which stands as barrier for successful fungal pathogenesis. In the study, we have confined to the CAZy genes that regulate cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzymes in two distinctive pathotypes of C. falcatum. Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed that a number of CAZy genes producing cellulolytic and pectinolytic enzyme were present in the virulent (Cf671) and least virulent (RoC) pathotypes. Two consecutive transcriptome analyses (in vitro) were performed using Illumina Hi Seq 2500, further analysis was done with various bioinformatic tools. In vitro expression
