ABSTRACT Fungicides are used in agriculture to manage fungal infections and maintain crop yield quality. In Europe, their application on cereals increased drastically starting from the mid 1970s, contributing a significant improvement yields. However, extensive usage has led rapid evolution of resistant pathogen populations within just few years fungicide deployment. Here we focus wheat powdery mildew, disease caused by ascomycete fungus Blumeria graminis forma specialis tritici (Bgt)....
Agricultural diseases are a major threat to sustainable food production. Yet, for many pathogens we know exceptionally little about their epidemiological and population dynamics, this knowledge gap is slowing the development of efficient control strategies. Here study genomics molecular epidemiology wheat powdery mildew, disease caused by biotrophic fungus Blumeria graminis forma specialis tritici (Bgt). We sampled Bgt across two consecutive years, 2022 2023, compiled genomic dataset 415...
Closely related to economically important crops, the grass Brachypodium distachyon has been originally established as a pivotal species for genomics but more recently flourished model developmental biology. Grasses encompass than 10,000 and cover 40% of world land area from tropical temperate regions. Given that grasses also supply about fifth world's dietary protein cereal grains, unlocking sources phenotypic variation in B. is hence prime interest fundamental applied research agronomy,...
Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are powerful mutagens regarded as a major source of genetic novelty and important drivers evolution. Yet, the uncontrolled potentially selfish proliferation LTR-RTs can lead to deleterious mutations genome instability, with large fitness costs for their host. While population genomics data suggest that an ongoing LTR-RT mobility is common in many species, understanding dual role evolution limited. Here, we harness diversity 320 sequenced...

Abstract Synchronizing the timing of reproduction with environment is crucial in wild. Among multiple mechanisms, annual plants evolved to sense their environment, requirement cold-mediated vernalization a major process that prevents individuals from flowering during winter. In many including crops, both long and short can be observed within species, resulting so-called early-(spring) late-(winter) genotypes. Here, using grass model Brachypodium distachyon, we explored link between...

Understanding how plants adapt to changing environments and the potential contribution of transposable elements (TEs) this process is a key question in evolutionary genomics. While TEs have recently been put forward as active players context adaptation, few studies thoroughly investigated their precise role plant evolution. Here, we used wild Mediterranean grass Brachypodium distachyon model species identify quantify forces acting on during adaptation various conditions, across its entire...
