Genomic factors limiting the diversity of Saccharomycotina plant pathogens

|
By Caroline West, Dana A Opulente, Marie-Claire Harrison, Sun Kyu Lee
| BioRxiv
Abstract The Saccharomycotina fungi have evolved to inhabit a vast diversity of habitats over their 400-million-year evolution. There are, however, only a few known fungal pathogens of plants in this subphylum, primarily belonging to the genera Eremothecium and Geotrichum. We compared the genomes of 12 plant-pathogenic Saccharomycotina strains to 360 plant-associated strains to identify features unique to the phytopathogens.

Exploring Saccharomycotina Yeast Ecology Through an Ecological Ontology Framework

|
By Marie-Claire Harrison, Dana A Opulente, John F. Wolters, Xing-Xing Shen
| Wiley Online Library Verified
1 Introduction Over the past 400 million years, the yeasts in the subphylum Saccharomycotina (hereafter referred to as yeasts) spread across Earth, adapting to nearly every biome available (Kurtzman et al. 2011; Shen et al. 2020). The diversity of biotic and abiotic features in these global environments profoundly influenced the diversification and evolution of over 1000 species of yeasts. It led to the evolution of varied genome content, metabolic capabiLities, and phenotypic traits (Shen et al.
