Emerging fungal and oomycete pathogens infect staple calorie crops and economically
important commodity crops, thereby posing a significant risk to global food security. Our …

Effective crop protection is vital to safeguard food security, but growers are reliant on a
limited toolbox in the face of diverse and evolving pathogens. New crop protection methods …

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 …

Agricultural ecosystems are composed of genetically depauperate populations of crop
plants grown at a high density and over large spatial scales, with the regional composition of …

Durum wheat landraces have huge potential for the identification of genetic factors valuable
for improving resistance to biotic stresses. Tunisia is known as a hot spot for Septoria tritici …

Dispersal is a fundamental biological process, operating at multiple temporal and spatial
scales. Despite an increasing understanding of fungal biodiversity, most research on fungal …

Plant pathogens can emerge in agricultural ecosystems through several mechanisms,
including host-tracking, host jumps, hybridization and horizontal gene transfer. High …

Wild plants and their associated pathogens are involved in ongoing interactions over
millennia that have been modified by coevolutionary processes to limit the spatial extent and …

The question of how phenotypic and genomic complexity are inter‐related and how they are
shaped through evolution is a central question in biology that historically has been …

Measures of population genetic structure and diversity of disease-causing organisms are
