Extensive somatic nuclear exchanges shape global populations of the wheat leaf rust pathogen <i>Puccinia triticina</i>
2022-11-29
Abstract excerpt
Non-sexual processes such as somatic nuclear exchange are postulated to play a role in the diversity of clonally reproducing dikaryotic rust fungi but have been difficult to detect due to the lack of genome resolution between the two haploid nuclei. We examined three nuclear-phased genome assemblies of Puccinia triticina , which causes wheat leaf rust disease. We found that the most recently emerged Australian li...
