Haplotype-phased, chromosome-level, annotated genome assembly of the soybean rust pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi

Nicholas Greatens, Manjula G. Elmore, Sowmya R. Ramachandran, Amy Wright, Luke J. Tallon, Steven A. Whitham, Rachel A. Koch, Kerry F. Pedley

The paper presents a haplotype-phased, chromosome-level genome assembly of the soybean rust pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi, improving upon previous fragmented assemblies.

The genetic diversity of the soybean rust pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi has been driven by two major evolutionary lineages

Vinícius Delgado da Rocha, Everton Geraldo Capote Ferreira, Fernanda Machado Castanho, Marcia Kamogae Kuwahara, Claudia Vieira Godoy, Maurício Conrado Meyer, Kerry F. Pedley, Ralf Thomas Voegele, Anna Lipzen, Kerrie Barry, Igor V. Grigoriev, Marco Loehrer, Ulrich Schaffrath, Catherine Sirven, Sébastien Duplessis, Francismar Corrêa Marcelino‐Guimarães

This study analyzes the genetic diversity of Phakopsora pachyrhizi, identifying two major evolutionary lineages and suggesting a tetrapolar mating system.

Rapid mini-chromosome divergence among fungal isolates causing wheat blast outbreaks in Bangladesh and Zambia

Sanzhen Liu, Guifang Lin, Sowmya R. Ramachandran, Lidia Calderón, Giovana Cruppe, Batiseba Tembo, Pawan Kumar Singh, David E. Cook, Kerry F. Pedley, Barbara S. Valent

The paper investigates genetic relationships among Magnaporthe oryzae isolates causing wheat blast outbreaks in Bangladesh and Zambia, finding that outbreaks were caused by genetically distinct isolates with divergent mini-chromosomes.
