Abstract excerpt
Understanding the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of plant pathogens is crucial for effective disease management strategies. Sunflower downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara halstedii, is a worldwide threat to the sunflower oil crop. We aimed to explain through phylogenomic studies how downy mildew resistance breakdown occurred recurrently in the last decades in France, leading to new...
