Worldwide Population Structure of the Coffee Rust Fungus Hemileia vastatrix Is ...

The devastating disease coffee leaf rust, caused by Hemileia vastatrix, has been a major constraint to worldwide coffee production. Recently, H. vastatrix populations were shown to be structured into three divergent genetic lineages with marked host specialization (C1, C2, and C3). However, there is yet no overall understanding of the population dynamics and adaptation of the most widespread and epidemiological...

Genome-wide signatures of selection in Colletotrichum kahawae reveal candidate ...

Plants and their pathogens are engaged in continuous evolutionary battles, with pathogens evolving to circumvent plant defense mechanisms and plants responding through enhanced protection to prevent or mitigate damage induced by pathogen attack. Managed ecosystems are composed of genetically identical populations of crop plants with few changes from year to year. These environments are highly conducive to the e...

The coffee leaf rust pathogen Hemileia vastatrix: one and a half centuries arou...

Taxonomy and History: Hemileia vastatrix Berk. and Broome (Basidiomycota, Pucciniales) was described in 1869 in eastern Africa and Ceylon as the agent of coffee leaf rust and has spread to all coffee cultivation areas worldwide. Major disease outbreaks in Asia, Africa and America caused and continue to cause severe yield losses, making this the most important disease of Arabica coffee, a cash crop for many trop...

The original coffee plant of the Hybrid of Timor: historical, economic and soci...

The original plant of the hybrid of Timor, is the result of the crossing of arabic species, with 44 chromosomes, not rust resistant, with robust species, rust resistent, with 22 chromosome. This unlikely crossing, due to the Arabic species has twice the chromosomes of the robusta species, happened in the 1930s by a fluke of nature in Timor Leste. The original plant of the hybrid of Timor is a unique plant in th...
