Abstract excerpt
Gaeumannomyces tritici is responsible for take-all disease, one of the most important wheat root threats worldwide. High-quality annotated genome resources are sorely lacking for this pathogen, as well as for the closely related antagonist and potential wheat take-all biocontrol agent, G. hyphopodioides. As such, we know very little about the genetic basis of the interactions in this host-pathogen-antagonist...
