Description
Puccinia graminis is the causal agent of stem rust that causes serious disease in cereal crops. It is an obligate plant pathogen. The sequencing, assembly and annotation of protein coding genes from the Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (CRL 75-36-700-3) genome has been generated by the Broad Institute as part of their work on the Puccinia group of fungi. The genome has been sequenced to a coverage of 12x and was most recently updated in 2008. It consists of 393 scaffolds with a total size of 84 Mb.
