Virulence and genetic diversity among isolates of Mycosphaerella fijiensis in two regions of Brazil.
Black sigatoka, caused by the fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis (anamorphic stage: Paracercospora fijiensis), was first detected in Brazil in early 1998 in the Benjamin Constant and Tabatinga municipalities in the State of Amazonas, near to where the borders of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru converge. Understanding how cultivars react to the pathogen, and characterizing the genetic variability of iso...
متن کاملBioinformatics Prediction of Polyketide Synthase Gene Clusters from Mycosphaerella fijiensis
Mycosphaerella fijiensis, causal agent of black Sigatoka disease of banana, is a Dothideomycete fungus closely related to fungi that produce polyketides important for plant pathogenicity. We utilized the M. fijiensis genome sequence to predict PKS genes and their gene clusters and make bioinformatics predictions about the types of compounds produced by these clusters. Eight PKS gene clusters we...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of Mycosphaerella fijiensis in Brazil analyzed using an ERIC-PCR marker.
The Enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC) marker was used to analyze the genetic variability of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causative agent of Black Sigatoka disease in banana plants. A total of 123 isolates were used, which were divided into populations based on their original hosts and collection sites in Brazil. A total of 9 loci were amplified, 77.8% of which were found t...
متن کاملMutagenesis of Micromonospora rosaria by using protoplasts and mycelial fragments.
Both mycelial fragments and protoplasts were successfully employed for mutagenesis of Micromonospora rosaria NRRL 3718, and the results were compared. The optimal conditions and effective procedures for mutagenesis of M. rosaria by a chemical mutagen, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, have been determined. Mutation was efficiently induced when mycelial fragments were treated with N-methyl-N...
متن کاملCorrection: Combating a Global Threat to a Clonal Crop: Banana Black Sigatoka Pathogen Pseudocercospora fijiensis (Synonym Mycosphaerella fijiensis) Genomes Reveal Clues for Disease Control
Black Sigatoka or black leaf streak disease, caused by the Dothideomycete fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis (previously: Mycosphaerella fijiensis), is the most significant foliar disease of banana worldwide. Due to the lack of effective host resistance, management of this disease requires frequent fungicide applications, which greatly increase the economic and environmental costs to produce ban...
