A group of papers analyzes pathogen genomes to find the roots of virulence, opportunism, and life-style determinants in plant pathogens, suggesting that most effectors represent species-specific adaptations.

Overall, however, not enough is understood about the epidemiological dynamics of this system to determine the crucial factors regulating the establishment of hypovirulence in chestnut forests.

An approach to analysis of genotypic diversity in plant pathology that makes specific reference to the techniques used for identifying genotypes is developed, and a bootstrapping approach, where confidence intervals are calculated for indices of diversity and evenness is recommended.
Grapevine powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator): a fascinating system for the study of the biology, ecology and epidemiology of an obligate biotroph.

The pathogen is obligately parasitic on genera within the Vitaceae, including Vitis, Cissus, Parthenocissus and Ampelopsis, including grapevine (Vitis), particularly the European grape, V. vinifera, which is highly susceptible to powdery mildew.

Vc types in C. parasitica can use knowledge of vic genotypes for analysis of population genetic structure based on vic allele frequencies and to determine the effect of each vic gene on virus transmission between vc types.

Nine of the 30 most frequently sampled clones from this study were previously recovered in a macrogeographical sample from western Canada in 1990, suggesting spatial mixing of ascospore inoculum from resident or immigrant sources.
Population Genetics and Intercontinental Migrations of Phytophthora Infestans

The understanding of the population genetics of Phytophthora infestans has increased dramatically during the past decade, and it is expected that this understanding will lead to im provements in tomato and potato late blight management.
Analysis of population structure of the chestnut blight fungus based on vegetative incompatibility genotypes.

Genotypic diversity of 10 populations in Italy correlated to the abundance of sexual structures suggest that either sexual reproduction may not contribute many offspring in these populations or that vic genes (or vic genotypes) are under selection.
Phylogeography and population structure of the grape powdery mildew fungus, Erysiphe necator, from diverse Vitis species
- M. Brewer, M. Milgroom
- BiologyBMC Evolutionary Biology
- 1 September 2010
Multilocus sequencing analysis of the grape powdery mildew fungus is consistent with the hypothesis that populations in Europe, Australia and the western US are derived from two separate introductions and their ancestors were likely from native populations in the eastern US.
