De novo transcriptome sequencing and analysis for Venturia inaequalis, the devastating apple scab pathogen.

Venturia inaequalis is the causal agent of apple scab, one of the most devastating diseases of apple. Due to several distinct features, it has emerged as a model fungal pathogen to study various aspects of hemibiotrophic plant pathogen interactions. The present study reports de novo assembling, anno...
