Genomic footprints related with adaptation and fumonisins production in <i>Fusarium proliferatum</i>.

ABSTRACT: Fusarium proliferatum is the principal etiological agent of rice spikelet rot disease (RSRD) in China, causing yield losses and fumonisins contamination in rice. The intraspecific variability and evolution pattern of the pathogen is poorly understood. Here, we performed whole-genome resequencing of 67 F. proliferatum strains collected from major rice-growing regions in China. Population structure indicated that eastern population of F. proliferatum located in Yangtze River with the high genetic diversity and recombinant mode that was predicted as the putative center of origin. Southern population and northeast population were likely been introduced into local populations through gene flow, and genetic differentiation between them might be shaped by rice-driven domestic
