Abstract excerpt
Wheat stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a globally destructive disease characterised by rapid virulence evolution. Despite its significance, the genetic basis of avirulence variation at a global scale remains poorly understood. In this study, we integrated virulence phenotypes against 18 Yr resistance genes with genome-wide variation from a worldwide collection of Pst isolates...
