Control of this pathogen is challenging due to its complex infection process and the development of resistance to chemical pesticides.

Genome sequencing revealed a 5.91 Mb chromosome containing biosynthetic gene clusters involved in antifungal secondary metabolites, along with genes associated with induced systemic resistance (lSR) and pattern-triggered immunity (PTl). Transcriptomic analysis was performed on maize seedling leaves from a greenhouse experiment, identifying 8,997 differentially expressed maize genes, which were primarily enriched in MAPK signaling and plant\u2013pathogen interactions. 16S rRNA analysis further showed significant shifts in microbial communities, particularly an increase in the abundance of beneficial genera such as\n                      <jats:italic>Paenibacillus, Delftia<\/jats:italic>\n                      , and\n                      <jats:italic>Corynebacterium<\/jats:italic>\n                      .
