Abstract excerpt
Wheat stem rust is a disease of global importance caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt). Here we generate chromosome-level, nuclear-phased genome references for Pgt isolates ETH2013-1 and ITA2018-1, representing races TKTTF and TTRTF respectively, that have caused major epidemics in Africa and Europe. The nuclear haplotypes of ETH2013-1 and ITA2018-1 are unique and unrelated to...
