Pyrenophora triciti-repentis is the causal agent of 'tan spot', a major disease in most of common wheat varieties. It can be identified by looking at the leaves for dark oval shaped necrotic tissue with a yellow border. The Pyrenophora tritici-repentis Pt-1C-FP (Race 1) genome was generated and assembled by Broad Institute of MIT and released in March 2007 consisting of a whole-genome shotgun assembly with a size of 37.84 Mb. The assembly and protein coding gene annotation of the Pyrenophora tritici-repentis genome was imported from the annotation submitted to EMBL-Bank as the WGS project AAXI00000000.
