AI Article Synopsis
- Padwick, the organism responsible for stalk rot disease in maize, poses a significant threat to maize production in China, with no genetic data available until now.
- The study provides the first genomic analysis of Padwick, revealing a genome size of 40.36 Mb, containing 12,510 genes and a GC content of 47.95%, along with 913 predicted secretory proteins.
- The genomic data enhances understanding of Padwick's virulence, plant-microbe interactions, metabolic processes, and host-binding capabilities, aiding in the development of effective disease management strategies.
Article Abstract
Padwick, the causal agent of stalk rot disease, is a threat to the maize crop in China. However, genomic information of the pathogen is not available yet. The current study presented the genomic information of isolated from maize. The genome size is 40.36 Mb and consists of 12,510 genes. The GC content is 47.95%, and there are 913 predicted secretory proteins. The presented genomic data highlighted the virulence features, plant-microbe interaction ability, genes associated with the pathogen's metabolic processes, and host-binding ability. Presented results would extend our knowledge of the pathogen and help us develop suitable disease management strategies.
