Evolution of pathogenicity controlled by small, dispensable chromosomes in Alternaria alternata pathogens
2016
Abstract Alternaria alternata includes seven pathogenic variants, called pathotypes, which produce host-selective toxins (HSTs) as determinant factors for pathogenicity. The gene clusters for HST biosynthesis were identified from six pathotypes (Japanese pear, strawberry, tangerine, apple, tomato and rough lemon) and were found to reside on small chromosomes of Alternaria alternata pathogens.
