Population genetic structure and migration patterns of the maize pathogenic fungus, Cercospora zeina in East and Southern Africa.

Fungal genetics and biology : FG & B - 1 Apr 2021

Abstract excerpt

Cercospora zeina is a causal pathogen of gray leaf spot (GLS) disease of maize in Africa. This fungal pathogen exhibits a high genetic diversity in South Africa. However, little is known about the pathogen's population structure in the rest of Africa. In this study, we aimed to assess the diversity and gene flow of the pathogen between major maize producing countries in East and Southern Africa (Kenya, Uganda,...
