Genomics of the expanding pine pathogen Lecanosticta acicola reveals patterns of ongoing genetic admixture

ABSTRACTLecanosticta acicola is the causal agent for brown spot needle blight that affects pine trees across the northern hemisphere. Based on marker genes and microsatellite data, two distinct lineages have been identified that were introduced into Europe on two separate occasions. Despite their ov...
