Article Synopsis
- A fungal pathogen affecting low-input apple production has become more widespread in Europe over the past 15 years, yet little is known about its biology and ability to cause disease.
- This study focused on strain DC1_JKI from Germany, which was sequenced to achieve a comprehensive genome assembly, revealing a mating-type locus identified as MAT1-2.
- Analysis across European and Asian samples showed that only MAT1-2 was present in European samples, potentially explaining the absence of the sexual reproduction form of the pathogen in European apple orchards.
