The paper tracks the evolutionary trajectory of a recently emerged hybrid plant pathogen, showing it persists as an independent lineage with genomic changes shaped by selection and ecological isolation.

The paper identifies how two wheat resistance alleles, Pm3d and Pm3e, recognize structurally diverse mildew effectors to confer broad-spectrum resistance.

This study analyzes the population genomics and molecular epidemiology of wheat powdery mildew in Europe, revealing population structure linked to wind patterns and identifying loci under selection, including fungicide targets and avirulence genes.

In 415 European and Mediterranean wheat powdery mildew genomes, fungicide-resistance mutations rose over time with regional patterns; demethylation-inhibitor resistance at cyp51 emerged at least twice independently and spread.

The paper analyzes genomes of Mycobacterium africanum strains to identify a new lineage and explore their evolutionary history and phylogeography.

The paper analyzes whole genome sequences of Mycobacterium tuberculosis lineages L1 and L3 to show South Asia's role in their dispersion and identify local adaptation at the esxH locus.

Treemmer reduces large phylogenetic datasets by removing redundant leaves, preserving diversity while simplifying the dataset.
