Alignment of Genetic and Physical Maps of Gibberella zeae

Alignment of genetic and physical maps of Gibberella zeae.

We previously published a genetic map of Gibberella zeae (Fusarium graminearum sensu lato) based on a cross between Kansas strain Z-3639 (lineage 7) and Japanese strain R-5470 (lineage 6). In this study, that genetic map was aligned with the third assembly of the genomic sequence of G. zeae strain PH-1 (lineage 7) using seven structural genes and 108 sequenced amplified fragment length polymorp...

Some Genetic Techniques for Gibberella zeae

Leslie, J. F. 1983. Some genetic techniques for Gibberella zeae. Phytopathology 73:1005-1008. Gibberella zeae, an important plant pathogen, is exploited commercially dependent, glutamate dehydrogenase-deficient mutant. Protoplasts were in the production of zearalenone, a fungal sex hormone. Genetically, G. liberated by hyphal digestion with commercially available f-glucuronidase zeae is relativ...

Genetic Structure of Atmospheric Populations of Gibberella zeae.

ABSTRACT Gibberella zeae, causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat and barley and Gibberella ear rot (GER) of corn, may be transported over long distances in the atmosphere. Epidemics of FHB and GER may be initiated by regional atmospheric sources of inoculum of G. zeae; however, little is known about the origin of inoculum for these epidemics. We tested the hypothesis that atmospher...

Genetic Diversity of Gibberella zeae Isolates from Manitoba

A genetic map of Gibberella zeae (Fusarium graminearum).

We constructed a genetic linkage map of Gibberella zeae (Fusarium graminearum) by crossing complementary nitrate-nonutilizing (nit) mutants of G. zeae strains R-5470 (from Japan) and Z-3639 (from Kansas). We selected 99 nitrate-utilizing (recombinant) progeny and analyzed them for amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs). We used 34 pairs of two-base selective AFLP primers and identified...
