The first chromosome-scale genome assembly of Blumeria graminis f. sp. avenae provides insights into genome evolution and host specialization

Blumeria graminis f. sp. avenae (Bga), the causal agent of oat powdery mildew, is one of the most host-specialized members of the B. graminis species complex. Despite its agricultural importance, the lack of a high-quality reference geno…
