A chromosome-scale genome assembly of the flax rust fungus reveals the two unusually large effector proteins, AvrM3 and AvrN
2025-04-28
Abstract excerpt
Rust fungi comprise thousands of species many of which cause disease on important crop plants. The flax rust fungus Melampsora lini has been a model species for the genetic dissection of plant immunity since the 1940s, however the highly fragmented and incomplete reference genome has so far hindered progress in effector gene discovery. Here, we generate a fully-phased, chromosome-scale assembly of the two nuclear...
