New insights into the evolution of host specificity of three Penicillium species and the pathogenicity of P. Italicum involving the infection of Valencia orange (Citrus sinensis)
Blue and green molds, the common phenotypes of post-harvest diseases in fruits, are mainly caused by Penicillium fungal Chlorophyll species, including P.italicum, P.digitatum, and P.expansum.We sequenced and assembled the genome of a P.italicum strain, which contains 31,034,623 bp with 361 scaffolds and 627 contigs.The mechanisms underlying the evo
