POPULATION GENOMICS PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO THE GLOBAL GENETIC STRUCTURE OF COLLETOTRICHUM GRAMINICOLA, THE CAUSAL AGENT OF MAIZE ANTHRACNOSE

Population Genomics Provide Insights into the Global Genetic Structure of Colletotrichum graminicola, the Causal Agent of Maize Anthracnose

ABSTRACT Understanding the genetic diversity and mechanisms underlying genetic variation in pathogen populations is crucial to the development of effective control strategies.We investigated the genetic diversity and reproductive biology of Colletotrichum graminicola isolates which infect maize by sequencing the genomes of 108 isolates collected fr
