The wheat blast pathogen <i>Pyricularia graminis-tritici</i> has complex origins and a disease cycle spanning multiple grass hosts
2017-10-16
Abstract excerpt
The wheat blast disease has been a serious constraint for wheat production in Latin America since the late 1980s. We used a population genomics analysis including 95 genome sequences of the wheat blast pathogen Pyricularia graminis-tritici ( Pygt ) and other Pyricularia species to show that Pygt is a distinct, highly diverse pathogen species with a broad host range. We assayed 11 neutral SSR loci in 526 Pygt...
