Abstract

Lasiodiplodia theobromae, as one of the causing agents associated with Chinese hickory trunk cankers, has caused huge economic losses to the Chinese hickory industry due to its extremely strong pathogenicity. Though the biological characteristics of this pathogen and the occurrence pattern of this disease have been reported, few studies have focused on investigating the mechanisms responsible for L. theobromae survival strategies and pathogenicity. The high-quality genome data and the efficient transformation system are the basis for researching above mechanism events. In this study we sequenced and assembled L. theobromae strain LTTK16-3, and established the first protoplasmic preparation method and polyethylene glycol (PEG) -mediated genetic transformation system for L. theobromae. These genetic information and transformation methods established the foundation for the future mechanisms study of L. theobromae and set up the possibility of targeted molecular improvements for Chinese hickory canker control.
