Comparative genomics of Australian isolates of the wheat stem rust pathogen Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici reveals extensive polymorphism in candidate effector genes

The wheat stem rust fungus <i>Puccinia graminis</i> f. sp. <i>tritici</i> (<i>Pgt</i>), is one of the most destructive pathogens of wheat. In this study, a draft genome was built for a founder Australian <i>Pgt</i> isolate of pathotype (pt.) 21-0 (coll...
