The basidiomycetes fungus Rhizoctonia solani AG3 is responsible for black scurf disease on potato and occurs in each potato growing area world-wide. In this study, the draft genome sequence of the black scurf pathogen R. solani AG3-PT isolate Ben3 is presented. The genome sequence of R. solani AG3-PT isolate Ben3 consists of 1385 scaffolds. These scaffolds amount to a size of approx. 51 Mb. Considering coverage analyses of contigs, the size of the diploid genome was estimated to correspond to 116 Mb. Gene prediction by applying AUGUSTUS (3.2.1.) resulted in 12,567 identified genes. Based on automatic annotation using GenDBE, genes potentially encoding cellulases and enzymes involved in secondary metabolite synthesis were identified in the R. solani AG3-PT isolate Ben3 genome. Comparative analyses including the R. solani AG3 isolate Rhs1AP, also originating from potato, revealed first insights into core genes shared by both isolates and unique determinants of each isolate.

Screening for resistance in 40 potato genotypes to Rhizoctonia solani AG-3PT-stem-canker, antioxidant enzymes activity as well as total phenol compounds were documented. Rhizoctonia solani AG-3PT-stem-canker is one of the most devastating diseases that leads to severe economic losses in potatoes, Solanum tuberosum globally. Crop management and eugenic practices, especially the use of resistance can be effective in reducing the disease incidence.

Rhizoctonia solani is a collective group of genetically and pathologically diverse basidiomycetous fungi that damage economically important crops. Its isolates are classified into 13 Anastomosis Groups (AGs) and subgroups having distinctive morphology and host ranges. The genetic factors driving the unique features of pathology are not well characterized due to the limited availability of its annotated genomes.

is the causer of black scurf disease on potatoes and is responsible for high economical losses in global agriculture. In order to increase the limited knowledge of the plants' molecular response to this pathogen, we inoculated potatoes with AG3-PT isolate Ben3 and carried out RNA sequencing with total RNA extracted from potato sprouts at three and eight days post inoculation (dpi). In this dual RNA-sequencing experiment, the necrotrophic lifestyle of AG3-PT during early phases of interaction with its host has already been characterised.

Rhizoctonia solani AG3-PT attacks germinating potato sprouts underground while molecular responses during interaction are unknown. To gain insights into processes induced in the fungus especially at early stage of interaction, transcriptional activity was compared between growth of mycelium in liquid culture and the growing fungus in interaction with potato sprouts using RNA-sequencing.
