Genomic evolution and diversity in Botryosphaeriales: insights from pan-genomic and population genetic analyses of representative species

The fungal order Botryosphaeriales includes numerous ecologically and economically important plant-associated taxa, yet its genomic diversity and evolutionary mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we present high-quality de novo genome assemblies for three representative species—Botryosphaeria dothidea, Neofusicoccum parvum, and Phyllosticta capitalensis—and perform integrative analyses using comparative genomics, population genetics, and …
