The first chromosome-scale genome assembly of Blumeria graminis f. sp. avenae provides insights into genome evolution and host specialization
2026-08-30
Abstract excerpt
Blumeria graminis f. sp. avenae (Bga), the causal agent of oat powdery mildew, is one of the most host-specialized members of the B. graminis species complex. Despite its agricultural importance, the lack of a high-quality reference genome has limited studies of host specialization, virulence evolution and comparative genomics in this pathogen. Here, we generated the first chromosome-scale genome assembly of Bga u...
