Abstract excerpt
Alternaria alternata is a globally distributed fungal pathogen with a broad host range, increasingly affecting tomato crops and also infecting wild tomato relatives. The genomic basis of this ecological breadth in A. alternata remains poorly understood. Here we leverage the opportunity of wild pathosystems to study pathogen evolution and diversity beyond agricultural settings. We sampled isolates from wild tomato...
