Comparative Transcriptomics and RNA-Seq-Based Bulked Segregant Analysis Reveals Genomic Basis Underlying Cronartium ribicola vcr2 Virulence

Breeding programs of five-needle pines have documented both major gene resistance (MGR) and quantitative disease resistance (QDR) to Cronartium ribicola (Cri), a non-native, invasive fungal pathogen causing white pine blister rust (WPBR). WPBR is one of the most deadly forest diseases in North Ameri...
