Long‐term and rapid evolution in powdery mildew fungi

S Kusch, J Qian, A Loos, F Kümmel… - Molecular …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The powdery mildew fungi (Erysiphaceae) are globally distributed plant pathogens with a

A molecular evolutionary concept connecting nonhost resistance, pathogen host range, and pathogen speciation

P Schulze-Lefert, R Panstruga - Trends in plant science, 2011 - cell.com
Any given pathogenic microbial species typically colonizes a limited number of plant
species. Plant species outside of this host range mount nonhost disease resistance to …

An evolutionary framework for host shifts–jumping ships for survival

M Thines - New Phytologist, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Host jumping is a process by which pathogens settle in new host groups. It is a cornerstone
in the evolution of pathogens, as it leads to pathogen diversification. It is unsurprising that …

Nonhost and basal resistance: how to explain specificity?

RE Niks, TC Marcel - New phytologist, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Nonhost resistance to plant pathogens can be constitutive or induced by microbes.
Successful pathogens suppress microbe‐induced plant defences by delivering appropriate …

Comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the genus Golovinomyces (Ascomycota: Erysiphales) reveals close evolutionary relationships with its host plants

S Takamatsu, S Matsuda, B Grigaliunaite - Mycologia, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
The Erysiphaceae were originally parasitic to trees, and host shift from trees to herbs might
have occurred many times independently in the tribes and genera. To investigate the …

Four powdery mildew species with catenate conidia infect Galium: molecular and morphological evidence

S Takamatsu, V Heluta, M Havrylenko… - Mycological …, 2009 - Elsevier
The Erysiphaceae are a group of obligately biotrophic fungi that cause powdery mildew
disease of angiosperms. Due to their inability to be cultured on artificial media, the taxonomy …
