Effector Gene Reshuffling Involves Dispensable Mini-chromosomes in the Wheat Blast Fungus

2018-06-29

Abstract excerpt

Newly emerged wheat blast disease is a serious threat to global wheat production. Wheat blast is caused by a distinct, exceptionally diverse lineage of the fungus causing rice blast disease. To understand genetic diversity in wheat-infecting strains, we report a near-finished reference genome of a recent field isolate generated using long read sequencing and a novel scaffolding approach with long-distance paired g...
