"Understanding the dynamics of viral diversity at interfaces between preserved and cultivated areas is a necessary major step towards understanding the molecular evolutionary processes underlying the emergence of plant viruses as agricultural pathogens. This project is likely to yield large volumes of novel information both on natural viral diversity associated with threatened ecosystems, and on t ...

Elucidating the genetic basis of adaptive traits is a central issue in evolutionary biology. Plant pathogenic fungi are interesting organisms to address this question since they are able to adapt rapidly to their environment. Through changes in their aggressiveness, they are notably able to erode quantitative host resistances, thereby threatening their durability. This project aims to elucidate th ...
