An Update in Disease: A Comprehensive Analysis on Field and Greenhouse spp. Infection.

L. is a genus of the Poaceae family, with many species serving as well-adapted forage plants in subtropical climates and continuous grazing systems. However, , an ascomycete of the order Hypocreales, represents a major threat to the species.

Genome-wide analysis of Claviceps paspali: insights into the secretome of the main species causing ergot disease in Paspalum spp.

Background: The phytopatogen Claviceps paspali is the causal agent of Ergot disease in Paspalum spp., which includes highly productive forage grasses such as P. dilatatum.

The complete mitochondrial and plastid genomes of the invasive marine red alga (Caulacanthaceae, Rhodophyta) from Moss Landing, California, USA.

is an invasive red alga that forms extensive mats in sheltered marine habitats around the world. To determine its genomic structure and genetic relationship to native and other non-native populations of , high-throughput sequencing analysis was performed on an introduced specimen from Bennett Slough, Moss Landing, California, USA. Assembly of 23,146,595 filtered 150 bp paired-end Illumina sequencing reads yielded its complete mitogenome (GenBank accession MT193839) and plastid genome (GenBank accession MT193838).

New Draft Genome Sequence of the Ergot Disease Fungus Claviceps paspali.

Here, we report a new draft genome sequence of an isolate of the ascomycete that is responsible for ergot disease in grasses of the genus. This new draft genome sequence will provide useful data for evaluating intraspecies and interspecies genome variation in and other genus members.

Diversity of reveals unknown lineages and unique alkaloid genotypes.

species affecting spp. are a serious problem, as they infect forage grasses such as and , producing the ergot disease. The ascomycete is known to be the pathogen responsible for this disease in both grasses.
