Transcriptome sequence resource for the hazelnut powdery mildew pathogen Erysiphe corylacearum (opens in new tab)

Erysiphe corylacearum is the main causal agent of hazelnut powdery mildew, causing substantial damage in the Black Sea region of Türkiye. Despite its economic importance, molecular resources for this obligate biotrophic pathogen remain severely limited. This study presents the first comprehensive transcriptomic dataset for E. corylacearum obtained through Illumina sequencing of mRNA from naturally infected hazelnut leaves. Using targeted epidermal peeling to enrich fungal material while minim...
