A high-resolution haplotype collection uncovers somatic hybridization, recombination and intercontinental movement in oat crown rust. by Eva C Henningsen, David Lewis, Eric S Nazareno, Hayley Mangelson, Monica Sanchez, Kyle Langford, Yung-Fen Huang, Brian J Steffenson, Brendan Boesen, Shahryar F Kianian, Ivan Liachko, Eric Stone, Peter N Dodds, Jana Sperschneider, Melania Figueroa

“…Furthermore, exchange of intact nuclei (somatic hybridization) in rust fungi can allow for rapid generation of genetic variability outside of the sexual cycle. Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae (Pca), the causal agent of oat crown rust, is a pathogen of global economic importance that is difficult to control due to rapid breakdown of host genetic resistance. …”
