The aim of this review was to survey all fungal pathologists with an association with the
journal Molecular Plant Pathology and ask them to nominate which fungal pathogens they …

The powdery mildew fungi (Erysiphaceae) are globally distributed plant pathogens with a
range of more than 10,000 plant hosts. In this review, we discuss the long‐and short‐term …

Powdery mildew fungi are obligate biotrophic pathogens that only grow on living hosts and
cause damage in thousands of plant species. Despite their agronomical importance, little …

Powdery mildews are phytopathogens whose growth and reproduction are entirely
dependent on living plant cells. The molecular basis of this life-style, obligate biotrophy …

Fungal plant pathogens secrete effector molecules to establish disease on their hosts, and
plants in turn use immune receptors to try to intercept these effectors. The tomato immune …

Recent sequencing projects have provided deep insight into fungal lifestyle-associated
genomic adaptations. Here we report on the 25 Mb genome of the mutualistic root symbiont …

Fungi are of primary ecological, biotechnological and economic importance. Many
fundamental biological processes that are shared by animals and fungi are studied in fungi …

The 5′-cap structure is a distinct feature of eukaryotic mRNAs, and eukaryotic viruses
generally modify the 5′-end of viral RNAs to mimic cellular mRNA structure, which is …

Few plant pathogens have had a more profound effect on the evolution of disease
management than Erysiphe necator, which causes grapevine powdery mildew. When the …

We review current ideas about coevolution of plants and parasites, particularly processes
that generate genetic diversity. Frequencies of host resistance and parasite virulence alleles …
