Containing fungal diseases often depends on the application of fungicidal compounds.
Fungicides can rapidly lose effectiveness due to the rise of resistant individuals in …

Convergent evolution leads to identical phenotypic traits in different species or populations.
Convergence can be driven by standing variation allowing selection to favour identical …

Microbial pathogens can adapt rapidly to changing environments such as the application of
pesticides or host resistance. Copy number variations (CNVs) are a major source of …

Evolution of fungicide resistance is a major threat to food production in agricultural
ecosystems. Fungal pathogens rapidly evolved resistance to all classes of fungicides …

Zymoseptoria tritici is a globally distributed fungal pathogen which causes Septoria tritici
blotch on wheat. Management of the disease is attempted through the deployment of …

Filamentous fungi rapidly evolve in response to environmental selection pressures in part
due to their genomic plasticity. Parastagonospora nodorum, a fungal pathogen of wheat and …

Fungi are ubiquitous on earth and are essential for the maintenance of the global ecological
equilibrium. Despite providing benefits to living organisms, they can also target specific …

Abstract Knowledge of genetic determinism and evolutionary dynamics mediating host-
pathogen interactions is essential to manage fungal plant diseases. Studies on the genetic …

Human activity impacts the evolutionary trajectories of many species worldwide. Global
trade of agricultural goods contributes to the dispersal of pathogens reshaping their genetic …

The fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola emerged as a new pathogen of cultivated wheat
during its domestication∼ 11,000 yr ago. We assembled 12 high-quality full genome …
