Wheat Pathogens Genomes

This dataset contains the genomic sequence from 10 fungal and 2 bacterial pathogen species. Among the pathogens sequenced are the causal agents of stripe rust, stem rust, tan spot, glume blotch, septoria leaf blotch, bare patch and crown rot/head blight. A total of 27 genomes will be made available.

The genomes were selected for analysis by a consortium of Australian wheat pathogen researchers from the following organisations:

  • Australian National University
  • CSIRO
  • Curtin University
  • Charles Sturt University
  • NSW Department of Primary industry
  • Grains Research and Development Corporation
