The biocontrol effects and mechanisms of mycoparasitic Alternaria alternata against Chinese rose powdery mildew by Yanping Tang, Yanping Tang, Ruotian Gao, Ruotian Gao, Changle Ma, Jin Wang, Jing Li, Jing Li

“…Strain KMR13, which exhibited pronounced mycoparasitic activity against P. pannosa, was isolated during the initial phase of this study; however, the underlying mechanism remains to be elucidated.MethodsIn order to analyze the biological control and mycoparasitism mechanisms, the present study was carried out to sequence the whole genome of strain KMR13 using a combination of second-generation Illumina and third-generation nanopore platforms, to mine chitinase genes from the KMR13 genome, and to screen for chitinase genes related to mycoparasitism by detecting the expression of the genes at different time periods of sporulation induction.ResultsThe results revealed a genome size of 33,532,117 base pairs (bp) with a GC content of 50.97%, encoding 12,545 genes and 379 non-coding RNAs. …”
