Abstract excerpt
Wheat stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a destructive wheat disease with global prevalence, in which novel races of Pst may arise through sexual recombination. Direct evidence of the role of mating-type (MAT) genes in sexual recombination and genetic diversity in Pst populations has been scarce. Herein, we identified 11 pairs of homeodomain (HD) alleles in Pst and two pairs of...
