Alternaria spp. cause different diseases in potato and tomato crops. Early blight caused by
Alternaria solani and brown spot caused by Alternaria alternata are most common, but the …

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

Transposable elements (TEs) are an important part of eukaryotic genomes. The role of
somatic transposition in aging, carcinogenesis, and other age-related diseases has been …

The activity of transposable elements (TEs) contributes significantly to pathogen genome
evolution. TEs often destabilize genome integrity but may also confer adaptive variation in …

Monilinia species are among the most devastating fungi worldwide as they cause brown rot
and blossom blight on fruit trees. To understand the molecular bases of their pathogenic …

Despite over a century of observations, the obligate insect parasites within the order
Entomophthorales remain poorly characterized at the genetic level. In this manuscript, we …

Cladosporium fulvum is a fungal pathogen that causes leaf mould of tomato. The reference
genome of this pathogen was released in 2012 but its high repetitive DNA content prevented …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification with a very long evolutionary history.
However, DNA methylation evolves surprisingly rapidly across eukaryotes. The genome …

The genus Trichoderma is among the best studied groups of filamentous fungi, largely
because of its high relevance in applications from agriculture to enzyme biosynthesis to …

Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to intraspecific variation and play important roles in
the evolution of fungal genomes. However, our understanding of the processes that shape …
