Virulence and Genetic Diversity of <i>Puccinia</i> spp., Causal Agents of Rust on Switchgrass (<i>Panicum virgatum</i> L.) in the USA

Virulence and Genetic Diversity of <i>Puccinia</i> spp., Causal Agents of Rust on Switchgrass (<i>Panicum virgatum</i> L.) in the USA

Switchgrass (<i>Panicum virgatum</i> L.) is an important cellulosic biofuel grass native to North America. Rust, caused by <i>Puccinia</i> spp. is the most predominant disease of switchgrass and has the potential to impact biomass conversion. In this study, virulence patterns...
