In their natural environment, plants are exposed to biotic or abiotic stresses that occur
sequentially or simultaneously. Plant responses to these stresses have been studied widely …

Studies in diverse biological systems have indicated that host–parasite co-evolution is
responsible for the extraordinary genetic diversity seen in some genomic regions, such as …

Harnessing natural genetic variation is an established alternative to artificial genetic
variation for investigating the molecular dialog between partners in plant pathosystems …

Disease-resistance (R) gene cloning in wheat (Triticum aestivum) has been accelerated by
the recent surge of genomic resources, facilitated by advances in sequencing technologies …

While the human microbiome's structure and function have been extensively studied, its
within-species genetic diversity is less well understood. However, genetic mutations in the …

Environmental sequencing shows that plants harbor complex communities of microbes that
vary across environments. However, many approaches for mapping plant genetic variation …

Understanding the role of the host genome in modulating microbiota variation is a need to
shed light on the holobiont theory and overcome the current limits on the description of host …

Abstract Background The species Xanthomonas arboricola comprises up to nine pathovars,
two of which affect nut crops: pv. juglandis, the causal agent of walnut bacterial blight, brown …

Linear mixed effect models are powerful tools used to account for population structure in
genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and estimate the genetic architecture of complex …

Powdery mildew (Golovinomyces cichoracearum), one of the most prolific obligate
biotrophic fungal pathogens worldwide, infects its host by penetrating the plant cell wall …
