De novo genome sequencing of Teratoramularia rumicicola TR4
This project aims to generate and publicly release the draft whole-genome sequence of Teratoramularia rumicicola strain TR4, a phytopathogenic fungus isolated from Rumex crispus in Japan. The genome data will provide a foundational resource for understanding species delimitation, host-specific pathogenicity, and infection biology of this fungus. This project also supports ongoing research investigating the potential use of T. rumicicola as a bioherbicide for the management of Rumex weeds in pasture systems. The resulting genomic information will facilitate comparative genomics and the identification of genes associated with pathogenicity and host interaction.
