Abstract
Since emerging in Brazil in 1985, wheat blast has spread throughout South America and recently appeared in Bangladesh and Zambia. Here we show that two wheat resistance genes, Rwt3 and Rwt4, acting as host-specificity barriers against non-Triticum blast pathotypes encode a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat immune receptor and a tandem kinase, respectively. Molecular isolation of these genes will enable study of the molecular interaction between pathogen effector and host resistance genes.

N1 - Data availability: The RenSeq 150 bp paired-end Illumina sequences (raw data) for the 300 Watkins and 21 non-Watkins lines (including Anahuac) and the cDNA RenSeq data of 6 Watkins lines are available from NCBI study number PRJNA760793. The k-mer matrix and the CLC assemblies of the 300 Watkins and 21 non-Watkins lines are available from Zenodo under the following DOIs: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5557564, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5557685, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5557721, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5557827, https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5557838 and https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5655720. The genomic sequences of Rwt3 and Rwt4 are available from the wheat Ensembl databases as TraesCS1D02G029900 from https://plants.ensembl.org/Triticum_aestivum/ and TraesJAG1D03G00423590 from https://plants.ensembl.org/Triticum_aestivum_jagger/, respectively. Code availability: Scripts for the Watkins k-mer matrix generation, phylogenetic tree construction and k-mer-based association mapping can be found in the repository https://github.com/arorasanu/watkins_renseq.
