Fig. 4From: Comparative genomics of Botryosphaeria dothidea and B. kuwatsukai, causal agents of apple ring rot, reveals both species expansion of pathogenicity-related genes and variations in virulence gene content during speciationComparison of the genomic architecture of the MAT locus and surrounding genes among Botryosphaeria dothidea, B. kuwatsukai, Macrophomina. phaseolina and Diplodia sapinea. All four characterized MAT genes group together at a single locus, suggesting a homothallic mating-type system in both B. dothidea and B. kuwatsukai. Arrows represent gene order and orientation, but genes and intergenic regions are not to scale. Abbreviations: CIA30, complex I intermediate-associated protein 30; Cox, cytochrome C oxidase subunit Via; DUF2404, putative integral membrane protein containing DUF2404 domain; APN2, DNA lyase; APC5, anaphase-promoting complex.Back to article page
