Phylogenomic analysis supports the transfer of Coniothyrium glycines, a soybean pathogen and USDA Select Agent, to the genus Aristastoma.

Red leaf blotch, caused by Coniothyrium glycines, is a major leaf spot disease of soybean in Africa. Because of its unique morphological characteristics, C. glycines has been placed in numerous genera since its description in 1957, and recent phylogenetic evidence has suggested that its current placement within Conioth...

A chromosome-level genome assembly of Thecaphora frezzii, cause of peanut smut, reveals the largest genome of the true smut fungi.

Peanut smut, caused by the fungus Thecaphora frezzii, is a significant disease of peanuts in Argentina. Infected plants have seeds replaced by a mass of dark teliospores, reducing yield and seed quality. Following successful in vitro culture of the fungus in its haploid stage, we produced a chromosome-level genome asse...
