Isochores and effectors : genome reshaping and the birth of highly pathogenic species in fungal phytopathogensThe apple scab agent Venturia inaequalis and the stem canker of oilseed rape agent Leptosphaeria maculans represent economically important diseases. Both behave as invasive species ...
Metagenomic analysis of the microflora from infected grapevine trunkEsca (black measles) and the diseases referred to as 'grapevine declines' are fungal pathogen-induced diseases of the grapevine trunk causing stunted growth, reduced yield, and ultimately, vinestock death. The main objective of ...
Evolution of mating types and sex chromosomes in fungiEvolution of anisogamy and of the number of mating types In most multicellular eukaryotes, haploid fusion during sexual reproduction is between specialised sex cells known as gametes. A variety of developmental and genetic ...
Genomic AND Adaptation for fungal LiFe history traits involved in host plant interactionParasites are able to evolve rapidly and overcome host defense mechanisms, but the molecular basis of this adaptation remains poorly understood. Identifying polymorphisms under selection in pathogenic fungal populations will help understanding ...
Genomic Research-Assisted breeding for Sustainable Production of quality GRAPEs and WINE ERA-NET Plant Genomics granted research project Grapes are currently grown on 3.6 Million ha (2006) in Europe and amount to a total yearly production of 170 million hl (2006) ...
