This study traces the evolutionary history and dispersal of the rice bacterial blight pathogen Xoo, linking its emergence to rice domestication and trade routes.

The paper isolates and analyzes 20 new Ampelomyces strains from Australian powdery mildews, revealing four molecular taxonomic units and generating two high-quality genome assemblies.

This study mines the genome of Elsinoë fawcettii to predict and prioritize candidate virulence genes, including effectors, cell wall degrading enzymes, and secondary metabolite gene clusters.
