Dynamic gene gain and loss during the divergence of obligate biotrophic powdery mildew pathogens

Thomas Heaven, Helen M. Cockerton, Xiangming Xu, Matthew R. Goddard, Andrew D. Armitage

This study sequenced genomes of powdery mildew fungi to compare effector complements and gene loss across species, revealing divergent patterns in gene expansion and contraction.

Managing the phyllosphere: Agronomic practices influence the ecology and evolution of Pseudomonas syringae in cherry orchards

Ziyue Zeng, John W. Mansfıeld, Andrea Vadillo Dieguez, John Connell, James Irvine, Michelle T. Hulin, Eleftheria Stavridou, Amanda Karlström, Fernando Duarte Frutos, Nastasiya F. Grinberg, Mojgan Rabiey, Richard J. Harrison, Xiangming Xu, Robert Wilson Jackson

This study shows that polytunnel covering reduces Pseudomonas syringae dispersal and alters phyllosphere communities, while nitrogen fertigation improves plant growth and reduces disease severity in cherry orchards.
