Chromosome-level comparative genomics and host-specific fungal transcriptomics uncover adaptive virulence strategies in the sugarcane smut pathogen
These findings uncover genomic signatures and context-dependent transcriptional regulation shaping the adaptive landscape of S. scitamineum virulence, identifying targets for pathogen monitoring and breeding for resistance.
