A PEG-mediated protoplast transformation system for EGFP labeling of the shot-hole pathogen Wilsonomyces carpophilus
Wilsonomyces carpophilus is a fungal pathogen causing shot-hole disease in stone fruit trees, including wild apricot populations in the Tianshan wild fruit forests. The absence of an effective genetic transformation system has limited molecular studies of this pathogen. In this study, we established a PEG-mediated p...
