Population genomic evidence for a repeated introduction and rapidexpansion in Europe of a maize fungal pathogen
M. Vidal-Villarejo, F. Freund, H. Hanekamp, A. von Tiedemann, K. J. Schmid
This study uses whole genome sequencing of S. turcica isolates to show that its rapid expansion in Europe since the 1980s reflects maize cultivation growth, not adaptation to resistant varieties.
