Comparative genomic analysis reveals contraction of gene families with putative roles in pathogenesis in the fungal boxwood pathogens Calonectria henricotiae and C. pseudonaviculata
Abstract Background Boxwood blight disease caused by Calonectria henricotiae and C.pseudonaviculata is of ecological and economic significance in cultivated and native ecosystems worldwide.Prior research has focused on understanding the population genetic and genomic diversity of C.henricotiae and C.pseudonaviculata, but gene family evolution Endca
