Genome Analyses of Two Blueberry Pathogens: Diaportheamygdali CAA958 and Diaporthe eres CBS 160.32.

ABSTRACT: The genus Diaporthe includes pathogenic species distributed worldwide and affecting a wide variety of hosts. Diaporthe amygdali and Diaporthe eres have been found to cause cankers, dieback, or twig blights on economically important crops such as soybean, almond, grapevine, and blueberry. Despite their importance as plant pathogens, the strategies of species of Diaporthe to infect host plants are poorly explored. To provide a genomic basis of pathogenicity, the genomes of D. amygdali CAA958 and D. eres CBS 160.32 were sequenced and analyzed. Cellular transporters involved in the transport of toxins, ions, sugars, effectors, and genes implicated in pathogenicity were detected in both genomes. Hydrolases and oxidoreductases were the most prevalent car
