Abstract excerpt
Rice blast disease, caused by Pyricularia oryzae Cavara, is the most threatening rice pathogen in Italy. The development of resistant cultivars is a sustainable approach to mitigate yield losses. However, P. oryzae genomic plasticity often allows rapid adaptation to host resistance. Understanding the population structure of plant pathogens is crucial for assessing their genetic diversity and implementing durable...
