A pandemic clonal lineage of the wheat blast fungus

2022-06-07

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Wheat, the most important food crop, is threatened by a blast disease pandemic. Here, we show that a clonal lineage of the wheat blast fungus recently spread to Asia and Africa following two independent introductions from South America. Through a combination of genome analyses and laboratory experiments, we show that the decade-old blast pandemic lineage can be controlled by the Rmg8 disease res...
