A fungal plant pathogen overcomes <i>mlo</i> -mediated broad-spectrum disease resistance by rapid gene loss
2021-12-09
Abstract excerpt
Hosts and pathogens typically engage in a co-evolutionary arms race. This also applies to phytopathogenic powdery mildew fungi, which can rapidly overcome plant resistance and perform host jumps. Using experimental evolution, we show that the powdery mildew pathogen Blumeria hordei is capable of breaking the agriculturally important broad-spectrum resistance conditioned by barley loss-of-function mlo mutants.
