BMC Plant Biol
. 2024 Apr;
24(1):248.
PMID: 38580955
Background: Wheat is one of the world's most important cereal crops. However, the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici can cause disease epidemics, leading to reduced yields. With climate change and development...

Mol Microbiol
. 2023 Jul;
120(4):555-563.
PMID: 37434470
To date, most reports of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in fungi rely on genome sequence data and are therefore an indirect measure of HGT after the event has occurred. However,...

Nat Commun
. 2023 Feb;
14(1):1059.
PMID: 36828814
Human activity impacts the evolutionary trajectories of many species worldwide. Global trade of agricultural goods contributes to the dispersal of pathogens reshaping their genetic makeup and providing opportunities for virulence...

PMID: 35567925
Plants have proficient tools that allow them to survive interactions with pathogens. Upon attack, they respond with specific countermeasures, which are controlled by the immune system. However, defences can fail...

Mol Ecol
. 2020 Nov;
30(21):5390-5405.
PMID: 33211369
Convergent evolution leads to identical phenotypic traits in different species or populations. Convergence can be driven by standing variation allowing selection to favour identical alleles in parallel or the same...
