Abstract
Fusarium pathogens represent a major constraint to wheat and barley production worldwide. To facilitate future comparative studies of Fusarium species that are pathogenic to wheat, the genome sequences of four Fusarium pseudograminearum isolates, a single Fusarium acuminatum isolate, and an organism from the Fusarium incarnatum-F. equiseti species complex are reported.
Highlights
Fusarium pathogens represent a major constraint to wheat and barley production worldwide
Diseases incited by Fusarium pathogens are among the major biotic constraints on wheat and barley crop production [1]
In Australia, crown rot is responsible for annual losses of ~$100 million in the wheat and barley industries [2, 3]
Summary
Fusarium pathogens represent a major constraint to wheat and barley production worldwide. Diseases incited by Fusarium pathogens are among the major biotic constraints on wheat and barley crop production [1]. Fusarium pathogens can cause three diseases on cereals (head blight, crown rot, and root rot), depending on the host developmental stage. Head blight disease causes enormous losses in northern hemisphere production areas, while crown rot is prevalent in arid regions.
