Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association A distinct k-mer association peak on chromosome 10B corresponded to avirulence against Lr20 across eleven Lr loci.
- Observation The assembled associated k-mers formed a 50 bp sequence located near two candidate effector genes.
- Observation The genomic region harbouring Pt76_024702 showed large-scale deletions in certain Pt lineages virulent to Lr20, particularly those infecting durum wheat.
- Observation The authors conclude that Pt76_024702 is a compelling candidate for AvrLr20.
- Recommendation The authors conclude the k-mer-based GWAS approach has significant potential to enhance the Avr gene catalogue.
