Oomycete communities in lowland tropical forest soils vary in abundance and are composed of saprophytes and pathogens of seeds and seedlings of multiple plant species.

K. Broders, H. Capador-Barreto, G. Iriarte, J. Wright, M. Baur, H. Espinosa-Ortega, E. Spear

The paper assesses oomycete diversity and pathogenicity in lowland tropical forest soils, finding they are abundant, host-generalist pathogens and saprophytes affecting seed and seedling survival.

Host-generalist fungal pathogens of seedlings may maintain forest diversity via host-specific impacts and differential susceptibility among tree species

E. R. Spear, K. Broders

The paper investigates how generalist fungal pathogens affect tree species diversity in forests by testing their pathogenicity and host susceptibility.

Genomic acquisitions in emerging populations of Xanthomonas vasicola pv. vasculorum infecting corn in the U.S. and Argentina

A. L. Perez Quintero, M. Ortiz-Castro, G. Wu, J. M. Lang, S. Liu, T. A. Chapman, C. Chang, J. Ziegle, Z. Peng, F. F. White, M. C. Plazas, J. E. Leach, K. Broders

The paper identifies gene acquisitions in Xanthomonas vasicola pv. vasculorum genomes from the U.S. and Argentina, linking them to increased virulence through horizontal gene transfer, including a prophage from X. vasicola pv. holcicola.

Comparative genomics of beetle-vectored fungal pathogens reveals a reduction in genome size and independent evolution of pathogenicity of two tree pathogens

T. A. Schuelke, A. Westbrook, K. Woeste, D. Plachetzki, K. Broders, M. MacManes

The paper compares the genomes of fungal pathogens and non-pathogens to identify genes under positive selection associated with pathogenicity in Geosmithia morbida.
