Wheat blast fungus from Zambia
Wheat  blast,  caused  by Magnaporthe  oryzae (Syn. Pyricularia  oryzae),  was recently  reported  in  Africa  for  the  first  time.  To  determine  the  relationship between African wheat blast isolates from Zambia with other populations from South  America  and  Bangladesh, we sequenced 13 isolates from Zambia using Illumina sequencing technology.
