Abstract excerpt
Parastagonospora nodorum is necrotrophic fungal pathogen of wheat with significant genomic resources. Population-level pangenome data for 173 isolates, of which 156 were from Western Australia (WA) and 17 were international, were examined for overall genomic diversity and effector gene content. A heterothallic core population occurred across all regions of WA, with asexually-reproducing clonal clusters in dryer...
