Abstract excerpt
Biotrophic fungi (Puccinia spp.) cause devastating diseases of wheat and other cereal species globally. The function of large repertories of genes from Puccinia spp. still needs to be discovered to understand the infection process of these obligate parasites, eventually to protect plants from rust diseases. Functional analysis of targeted genes is challenging due to the inherent difficulties with culturing the...
