De Novo Genome Assembly and Comparative Genomics of the Barley Leaf Rust Pathogen Puccinia hordei Identifies Candidates for Three Avirulence Genes

Puccinia hordei (Ph) is a damaging pathogen of barley throughout the world. Despite its importance, almost nothing is known about the genomics of this pathogen, and a reference genome is lacking. In this study, the first reference genome was assembled for an Australian isolate of Ph (“Ph560”) using...
