Global population genomics and pangenome of the clubroot pathogen link clonal expansion and effector diversification to resistance breakdown in canola
Clubroot disease, caused by the obligate biotrophic protist Plasmodiophora brassicae, threatens Brassica crops worldwide. Novel pathogen virulence frequently breaks resistance in agricultural crops, and yet explanations for isolate evolution remain unknown. We combined whole-genome sequencing of 192 isolates from 24 co...
