Given human population growth and accelerated global trade, the rate of emergence of
exotic plant pathogens is bound to increase. Understanding the processes that lead to the …

Trade in plant and plant products has profoundly affected the global distribution and
diversity of plant pathogens. Identification of migration pathways can be used to monitor or …

Genetic diversity in pathogen species contains information about evolutionary and
epidemiological processes, including the origins and history of disease, the nature of the …

Phylogeographic methods can help reveal the movement of genes between populations of
organisms. This has been widely done to quantify pathogen movement between different …

Plants and pathogens evolve in response to each other. This coevolutionary arms race is
fueled by genetic variation underlying the recognition of pathogen proteins by the host and …

Phylodynamics has become an increasingly popular statistical framework to extract
evolutionary and epidemiological information from pathogen genomes. By harnessing such …

More than 10 years of extensive efforts since the dawn of highthroughput sequencing have
resulted in a wealth of genome data for filamentous plant pathogens and have led to several …

Meiotic recombination is an important driver of evolution. Variability in the intensity of
recombination across chromosomes can affect sequence composition, nucleotide variation …

Anthropocene marks the era when human activity is making a significant impact on earth, its
ecological and biogeographical systems. The domestication and intensification of …

The interplay of host and pathogen life history traits with disease epidemiology and the
selective pressures exerted on hosts drives genetic change and the long-term …
