An Avirulence Gene Cluster in the Wheat Stripe Rust Pathogen (<named-content content-type="genus-species">Puccinia striiformis</named-content> f. sp. <italic toggle="yes">tritici</italic>) Identified through Genetic Mapping and Whole-Genome Sequencing of a Sexual Population

ABSTRACT Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, the causal agent of wheat stripe (yellow) rust, is an obligate, biotrophic fungus. It was difficult to study the genetics of the pathogen due to the lack of sexual reproduction. The recent discovery of alternate hosts for P. striiformis f. sp. tritici ma...
