Significant contributions were made by colleagues here at Washington State University, at the United States Department of Agriculture and at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. I would like to start by thanking my committee members Dr. Lori Carris, Dr. Lisa Castlebury, Dr. Pat Okubara and Dr. Dorrie Main, who provided guidance on procedure, feedback on my research as well as contacts and laboratory resources. Dr. André Lévesque of AAFC initially alerted me to the prospect of collaboration with other AAFC Tilletia researchers and placed me in contact with Dr. Sarah Hambleton, whose lab sequenced four out of five strains of Tilletia used in this study (CSSP CRTI 09-462RD). Dr. Prasad Kesanakurti and Jeff Cullis coordinated my access to AAFC’s genome and transcriptome data for these species.

    Genome Sequencing and Comparison of Five Tilletia Species to Identify Candidate Genes for the Detection of Regulated Species Infecting Wheat Hai D

    Nguyen et al. IMA Fungus (2019) 10:11 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43008-019-0011-9 IMA Fungus RESEARCH Open Access Genome sequencing and comparison of five Tilletia species to identify candidate genes for the detection of regulated species infecting wheat Hai D. T. Nguyen1*, Tahera Sultana1,2, Prasad Kesanakurti1,3 and Sarah Hambleton1* Abstract Tilletia species cause diseases on grass hosts with some causing bunt diseases on wheat (Triticum). Two of the four species infecting wheat have restricted distributions globally and are subject to quarantine regulations to prevent their spread to new areas. Tilletia indica causes Karnal bunt and is regulated by many countries while the non- regulated T. walkeri is morphologically similar and very closely related phylogenetically, but infects ryegrass (Lolium) and not wheat. Tilletia controversa causesdwarfbuntofwheat(DB)andisalsoregulatedbysome countries, while the closely related but non-regulated species, T. caries and T. laevis, both cause common bunt of wheat (CB). Historically, diagnostic methods have relied on cryptic morphology to differentiate these species in subsamples from grain shipments. Of the DNA-based methods published so far, most have focused on sequence variation among tested strains at a single gene locus. To facilitate the development of additional molecular assays for diagnostics, we generated whole genome data for multiple strains of the two regulated wheat pathogens and their closest relatives. Depending on the species, the genomes were assembled into 907 to 4633 scaffolds ranging from 24 Mb to 30 Mb with 7842 to 9952 gene models predicted. Phylogenomic analyses confirmed the placement of Tilletia in the Exobasidiomycetes andshowedthatT. indica and T.
