Abstract excerpt
Three members of the Puccinia genus, Pucciniatriticina (Pt), Pstriiformis f.sp. tritici (Pst), and Pgraminis f.sp. tritici (Pgt), cause the most common and often most significant foliar diseases of wheat. While similar in biology and life cycle, each species is uniquely adapted and specialized. The genomes of Pt and Pst were sequenced and compared to that of Pgt to identify common and distinguishing gene content,...
