PCR-Based Detection for the Quarantine Fungus , a Biosecurity Threat to the Coffee () Industry Worldwide.

Coffee berry disease is caused by , a quarantine fungus still absent from most coffee-producing countries. Given the potential adverse effects on coffee berry production, it is a severe worldwide threat to farmers and industry. Current biosecurity management focuses on exclusion by applying quarantine measures, including the certification of coffee plants and their products.

Genome sequence of Berk. and Br. (Race I), the causal agent of coffee leaf rust, isolate from Risaralda, Colombia.

Coffee leaf rust, caused by the fungus (Basidiomycota; Pucciniomycota) is a devastating disease spread worldwide. To improve the available genomes, we use PacBio HiFi sequencing enhanced by Dovetail Omni-C chromatin conformation capture to assemble a highly contiguous 747.98 Mb genome of an isolate collected from .
