Abstract excerpt
Phakopsora pachyrhizi, an obligate biotrophic rust fungus, is the causal agent of Asian Soybean Rust (ASR) disease. Here, we utilized whole-genome data to explore the evolutionary patterns and population structure across 45 P. pachyrhizi isolates collected from 1972 to 2017 from diverse geographic regions worldwide. We also characterized in-silico mating-type (MAT) genes of P. pachyrhizi, in the predicted...
