Pyricularia Populations are Mostly Host-Specialized with Limited Reciprocal Cross-Infection Between Wheat and Endemic Grasses in Minas Gerais, Brazil

J. P. Ascari, L. I. Cazon, M. Rahnama, K. Lamour, J. M. C. Fernandes, M. L. Farman, E. M. Del Ponte

The paper reanalyzes Pyricularia populations in Brazil, finding limited cross-infection between wheat and endemic grasses, suggesting host-specialization rather than widespread cross-infection.

A Re-evaluation of phylogenomic data reveals that current understanding in wheat blast population biology and epidemiology is obfuscated by oversights in population sampling

M. L. Farman, J. P. Ascari, M. Rahnama, E. M. Del Ponte, K. F. Pedley, S. Martinez, J. M. C. Fernandes, B. Valent

The paper re-analyzes phylogenomic data to show that previous conclusions about wheat blast population biology and epidemiology are based on incomplete sampling of grass-infecting populations.

Recombination of standing variation in a multi-hybrid swarm drove adaptive radiation in a fungal pathogen and gave rise to two pandemic plant diseases

M. Rahnama, B. Condon, J. P. Ascari, J. R. Dupuis, E. M. Del Ponte, K. F. Pedley, S. Martinez, B. Valent, M. Farman

The paper shows that recombination of standing variation in a fungal hybrid swarm led to rapid adaptive radiation in Pyricularia oryzae, causing two new plant diseases.
