Other claims from this paper (9)
- Method / resource The T. horrida genome encodes 7,729 predicted genes.
- Method / resource Of the predicted genes, 6,973 are supported by RNA-seq.
- Observation Repetitive elements account for 8.45% of the T. horrida genome.
- Observation T. horrida lies evolutionarily close to the Ustilago fungi.
- Observation No co-linearity was observed between T. horrida and the barley smut Ustilago hordei.
- Observation T. horrida possesses a smaller set of carbohydrate-active enzymes and secondary metabolites.
- Observation Genes encoding secreted proteins and secondary metabolism enzymes, and PHI-database genes, are highly expressed during early infection.
- Observation The authors identified 131 candidate pathogen effectors based on expression patterns and functionality.
- Observation Two of the candidate effectors were validated as triggering leaf cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana.
