Combined population genomics and transcriptomics to decipher the molecular bases of virulence and host adaptation in the poplar leaf rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina
Bacteria-like phytoplasmas alternate between plant and insect hosts, secreting proteins that disrupt host development. In this study, we sequenced the complete genome of "Candidatus Phytoplasma oryzae
Xanthomonas translucens, the causal agent responsible for bacterial leaf streak disease (BLS) in cereal crops, is re-emerging as a highly destructive pathogen on a global scale. Despite historical rep
