Penn State Students Help Sequence a Plant Pathogen Genome
In short
- Graduate students at Penn State contributed to the work.
- It is the first complete genome sequence of this plant pathogen from an ornamental Prunus host.
- The sequencing was part of an active-learning activity in a plant disease diagnosis course.
