Abstract

The study aimed to identify, characterize and analyze fungal species associated with two economically significant plant species, Pongamia pinnata and Asclepias syriaca. Through molecular technique, fungal isolates were identified.The study employed DNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis to classify the fungal isolates accurately. Furthermore, in silico analyses provided insights into the pathogenicity mechanisms and genetic diversity of the identified fungal species. Functional annotation and pathway analysis elucidated metabolic pathways associated with pathogenesis and host interactions. Overall, our integrated approach provides a comprehensive understand of fungal diversity, evolution, and pathogenicity in P.pinnata and A.syriaca. These findings lay the foundation of future research aimed at developing sustainable strategies for disease management and crop improvement in agricultural systems.
