Sclerotinia sclerotiorum Database
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is among the world's most successful and omnivorous fungal plant pathogens, with a host range of greater than 400 plant species. Despite decades of dedicated effort, resistant germplasm is still lacking in economically important crops. As an exemplar of soilborne pathogens and necrotrophic pathogenesis, S. sclerotiorum is a model for development of asexual, persistant propagules, somatic compatibility, and sexual sporulation. It is also central to a group of Ascomycetes with poorly known evolutionary relationships.
The Sclerotinia sclerotiorum sequencing project was funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Cooperative State Research Education and Extension Service, through the USDA/NSF Microbial Genome Sequencing Program.
