| Description | Didymella rabiei (Ascochyta rabiei) is a necrotrophic ascomycetes fungus that causes the destructive Ascochyta blight disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum). Chickpea is a proteinaceous annual legume crop which is grown worldwide. Infection by necrotrophic pathogens such as Ascochyta rabiei eventually result in host cell death and can lead to 100% loss in crop yield. The fungus directly penetrates the aerial parts of chickpea and produces several phytotoxins. The draft genome of Ascochyta rabiei is 34.65 Mb in size and is predicted to code for ~10,600 proteins. When compared with other species under the same taxonomic group (Dothideomycetes), Ascochyta rabiei is observed to be closely similar to the necrotrophic wheat pathogen Septoria nodorum. |
