Cercospora zeina is the causal agent of Grey Leaf Spot (GLS) disease of maize in Africa. This fungal disease results in substantial yield losses in susceptible maize genotypes. Sequencing additional genomes of the pathogen allows the construction of a pangenome towards understanding local adaptation on the continent.
