Emergence of the Ug99 lineage of the wheat stem rust pathogen through somatic hybridisation

2019-07-04

Abstract excerpt

Parasexuality contributes to diversity and adaptive evolution of haploid (monokaryotic) fungi. However non-sexual genetic exchange mechanisms are not defined in dikaryotic fungi (containing two distinct haploid nuclei). Newly emerged strains of the wheat stem rust pathogen, Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici ( Pgt ), such as Ug99, are a major threat to global food security. Here we show that Ug99 arose by somatic...
