Meiotic recombination in the offspring of Microbotryum hybrids and its impact on pathogenicity

Meiotic recombination in the offspring of Microbotryum hybrids and its impact on pathogenicity

Abstract Background Hybridization is a central mechanism in evolution, producing new species or introducing important genetic variation into existing species. In plant-pathogenic fungi, adaptation and specialization to exploit a host species are key determinants of evolutionary success. Here, we per...
