Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fungal pathogens are major contributors to global losses of crop yields. Despite large-scale efforts to develop fungicides and resistant plant genotypes, disease outbreaks still pose severe risks to food security due to fungicide resistance and high adaptability of fungal pathogens. Genetic mechanisms behind the acquisition of resistance and renewed virulence have been uncovered by genome sequencing,...
