The pathogenic fungus Phomopsis longicolla causes numerous plant diseases, such as Phomopsis seed decay, pod and stem blight, and stem canker, which seriously affect the yield and quality of soybean production worldwide. Because of a lack of technology for efficient manipulation of genes for functio...
