Local adaptation of both plant and pathogen: an arms-race compromise in switchgrass rust

Acer VanWallendael, Chathurika Wijewardana, Jason E. Bonnette, Lisa Vormwald, Felix Fritschi, Arvid A. Boe, Shelly Chambers, Robert B. Mitchell, Francis M. Rouquette Jr., Yanqi Q. Wu, Philip A. Fay, JULIE D. JASTROW, John T. Lovell, Thomas Juenger, David B. Lowry

The paper examines local adaptation between switchgrass and its rust pathogen across North America, finding that both host and parasite can be locally adapted despite varying genetic loci associated with rust severity.

Geographic variation in the genetic basis of resistance to leaf rust between locally adapted ecotypes of the biofuel crop switchgrass (Panicum virgatum)

Acer VanWallendael, Jason E. Bonnette, Thomas Juenger, Felix Fritschi, Philip A. Fay, Robert B. Mitchell, John Lloyd‐Reilley, Francis M. Rouquette Jr., Gary C. Bergstrom, David Bryant Lowry

The paper identifies geographic variation in the genetic basis of rust resistance in switchgrass, finding two large-effect QTLs and epistatic interactions that vary with location.
