example, Sipos et al. (2017) showed that genome evolution in the genus was predominantly caused by gene family expansion.Kolesnikova (2019) assembled complete mitochondrial genomes of A. borealis, gallica, sinapina, and solidipes found a high degree variation size, content genomic organization among these phylogenetically closely related species.Recently, first chromosome-level Armillaria assembly became available, revealing genome-wide recombination ostoyae (Heinzelmann 2020).Sequenced...
Net form net blotch disease, caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres, results in significant yield losses to barley industries. Up-to-date knowledge of the genetic diversity and structure pathogen populations is critical for elucidating disease epidemiology unraveling survival dispersal mechanisms. Thus, this study investigated long-distance adaptation analyzing 250 P. isolates collected from Australia, Canada, Hungary, Republic South Africa (RSA), historical Denmark, Japan, Sweden. The...
Abstract Powdery mildew, caused by Erysiphe diffusa , is an emerging pathogen in Australian soybean crops. Since its initial detection 2012, the disease has been observed every season paddocks throughout Australia. It not known how E . survives between cropping seasons environment. This study identified native Glycine species, G. tabacina as alternate host for specimens naturally infected with powdery mildew were collected and was based on morphological characters nrDNA ITS MCM7 sequences....
Net blotch diseases result in significant yield losses to barley industries worldwide. They occur as net-form and spot-form net caused by Pyrenophorateres f. teres P. maculata, respectively. Hybridization between the forms was proposed be rare, but recent identifications of field hybrids has renewed interest frequency mechanisms underlying hybridization. This study investigates mating preference teres, laboratory-produced vitro, using 24 different isolates four experimental setups. Two...
Net blotches caused by Pyrenophora teres are important foliar fungal diseases of barley and result in significant yield losses up to 40%. The two types net blotch, net-form blotch spot-form P. f. ( Ptt ) maculata Ptm ), respectively. This study is the first use a cross between identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with virulence leaf symptoms. A genetic map consisting 1,965 Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers was constructed using 351 progenies Ptt/Ptm cross. Eight...
Barley grass (
In recent years multi-parental mapping populations (MPPs) have been widely adopted in many crops to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) as this method can compensate for the limitations of QTL analyses using bi-parental populations. Here we report first nested association (MP-NAM) population study used genomic regions associated with host-pathogenic interactions. MP-NAM were conducted on 399 Pyrenophora teres f. individuals biallelic, cross-specific and parental effect models. A was also...
