Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Global populations of Pyrenophora teres f. maculata have evolved to target multiple dominant barley susceptibility loci, highlighting the risk of widespread disease under local selection pressures. The necrotrophic fungal pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. maculata causes spot form net blotch (SFNB), a global disease of barley. This fungus uses effector proteins to promote infection, which act in an...
