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

Plant–pathogen coevolutionary selection processes are continuous, complex and occur
across many spatial and temporal scales. Comprehensive studies of the flax–flax rust …

The obligate biotrophic rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina is the most devastating and
widespread pathogen of poplars. Studies over recent years have identified various small …

Rust fungi cause serious yield reductions on crops, including wheat, barley, soybean, coffee,
and represent real threats to global food security. Of these fungi, the flax rust pathogen …

Genetic variation for pathogen infectivity is an important driver of disease incidence and
prevalence in both natural and managed systems. Here, we use the interaction between the …

This volume sits at the cross-roads of a number of areas of scientific interest that, in the past,
have largely kept themselves separate-agriculture, forestry, population genetics, ecology …

Poplars are extensively cultivated worldwide, and their susceptibility to the leaf rust fungus
Melampsora larici-populina leads to considerable damages in plantations. Despite a good …

This study identified genes that distinguish Australian Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.
vasinfectum (Fov) isolates from related colocalized nonpathogenic F. oxysporum isolates …

The genomes of plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes are often exposed to strong positive
selection pressure. During speciation, shifts in host range and preference can lead to major …

Melampsora larici-populina is a fungal pathogen responsible for foliar rust disease on
poplar trees, which causes damage to forest plantations worldwide, particularly in Northern …
