Population genetics of plant fungal threats: Insights from wheat powdery mildew
by Sergio M. Latorre Population genetics studies of microbial pathogens are demonstrating the potential of evolutionary theory to inform decisions that impact society. A recent study on wheat powdery mildew fungus in PLOS Biology uses genomic data to reveal the pathogen’s population structure and to predict its continental-scale dispersion routes. Population genetics studies of microbial pathogens are demonstrating the potential of evolutionary theory to inform decisions that impact society. This Primer explores a recent study on wheat powdery mildew fungus in PLOS Biology which uses genomic data to reveal the pathogen’s population structure and to predict its continental-scale dispersion routes.
