We compared genomes at every level, from the nucleotide to the chromosome, and from the single gene or TE to the whole proteome. The findings were almost too many for a single publication... almost. 😇 doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgen…

Pangenome graph analysis reveals extensive effector copy-number variation in spinach downy mildew

Author summary Plant pathogens are known to evolve rapidly and overcome disease resistance of newly introduced crop varieties. This swift adaptation is visible in the genomes of these pathogens,...

For the last talk of the session, we'll hear from @MelMendel on 'Deciphering the role of effectors for the rapid evolution and breaking of host resistance in the obligate biotrophic spinach downy mildew Peronospora effusa'.

The established methods were not sufficient, so we chose the cutting-edge, and since they were not fully realized yet, we expanded on them. Pangenomics discover secrets behind the rapid evolution of spinach downy mildew. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_genomic

Super nice talk by @AvWesterhoven on her most recent work on genome evolution in Fusarium oxysporum nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/… @BinfUtrecht @UUBeta @phytoWUR #proudPI

Segmental duplications drive the evolution of accessory regions in a major crop pathogen

Many pathogens evolved compartmentalized genomes with conserved core and variable accessory regions (ARs) that carry effector genes mediating virulence. The fungal plant pathogen Fusarium oxysporum...

#OMGN2022 amazing to see how the spinach downy mildew project evolved during the past 2 years. Almost evolving as fast as our pet pathogen ;) @pskiadas @guidopmi @dejongepmi @MFSeidl @UU_Plants @UniUtrecht @BinfUtrecht
