First Reported Sexual Recombination Between Pyrenophora teres Isolates from Barley and Barley Grass
Barley grass (Hordeum leporinum), which often occurs in proximity to commercial barley (H. vulgare) cultivars, is an alternative host to Pyrenophora teres, an economically important pathogen causing net blotch in barley. This study is the first to report the sexual recombination of P. teres isolates collected from barley with those collected from barley grass.
