Domestication of maize, sorghum, and sugarcane did not drive the divergence of their smut pathogens.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Feb 2007

Munkacsi Andrew B, Stoxen Sam, May Georgiana

Abstract excerpt

We investigated two alternative hypotheses for the origin of crop pathogen species: that human-mediated agricultural practices drove the divergence of many crop plant pathogen species or that coevolutionary processes in natural populations of the crops' ancestors drove divergence of pathogen species. We distinguished between these two hypotheses by constructing a robust multigene phylogeny and estimating the...
