The identification of two new races of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis from the host center of diversity confirms a one-to-one relationship in tan spot of wheat
Key Points
New races of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis were identified, linking them to wheat tan spot disease.
The study reveals a one-to-one relationship between these races and their host plants.
Exploration in a host center of diversity enhanced the understanding of disease variation in wheat.
Findings may lead to improved management strategies for tan spot in wheat crops.
