Article Synopsis
- * In July 2023, symptoms of Rice Sheath Blight were identified in Yongfu County, Guangxi, with affected leaves showing dark green spots, expanding lesions, and color changes from straw-yellow to brown.
- * Research involved collecting infected leaf samples, disinfecting them, culturing on Potato Dextrose Agar, and analyzing the fungal characteristics, confirming the presence of Rhizoctonia solani through distinct morphological traits and the anastomosis group classification.

Article Synopsis
- AG-3 is a plant pathogenic fungus classified into three subgroups based on ITS cluster analysis: AG-3 TB (tobacco target spots), AG-3 PT (potato black scurf), and AG-3 TM (tomato leaf blight).
- A previous study found most tobacco target spot strains from Yunnan belonged to AG-3 TB, while strains from Liaoning had a unique classification in AG-3 TM.
- This study sequenced the whole genomes of two AG-3 strains and performed comparative genomic analysis, revealing similarities and differences in genome size, coding genes, and virulence factors among the strains, while establishing a closer genetic relationship between the two AG-3 strains sequenced.
