A chromosome-scale assembly of the wheat powdery mildew (B.g. f.sp. tritici) isolate IRN_GOR_2. A chromosome-scale assembly of the wheat powdery mildew (B.g. f.sp. tritici) isolate IRN_GOR_2

Blumeria graminis (B.g.), the causal agent of the powdery mildew disease on cereal and wild grasses, exist in several highly host specific formae speciales (ff.ssp.). Here, we created a chromosome-level assembly of B.g. f. sp. tritici isolate IRN_GOR_2 with a combination of long-read PacBio sequencing and scaffolding according to the reference genome Bgt_genome_v3_16.
