Abstract excerpt
Agro-ecosystems provide environments that are conducive for rapid evolution and dispersal of plant pathogens. Previous studies have demonstrated that hybridization of crop pathogens can give rise to new lineages with altered virulence profiles. Currently, little is known about either the genetics of fungal pathogen hybridization or the mechanisms that may prevent hybridization between related species. The fungus...
