title: Sequencing and comparative genomics of Sporisorium reilianum f. sp. reilianum strain SRS1_H2-8
organism: Sporisorium reilianum f. sp. reilianum
description: Sporisorium reilianum f. sp. reilianum causes head smut on sorghum and has only very limited capacity to cause head smut on maize. Genome sequencing of the strain SRS1_H2-8 and comparison of its genome to the genome of the maize head smut fungus Sporisorium reilianum f. sp. zeae might reveal components of host adaptation of Sporisorium reilianum.
