Our latest preprint is online: “Population genomics and molecular epidemiology of wheat powdery mildew in Europe”. Thank to first author @jigi_sha and to the many collaborators that contributed to this study! 1/8 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Population genomics and molecular epidemiology of wheat powdery mildew in Europe

Agricultural diseases are a major threat to sustainable food production. Yet, for many pathogens we know exceptionally little about their epidemiological and population dynamics, and this knowledge...

Very grateful to have been able to contribute to this collaborative effort with 28 authors. We show e.g. that two LTR retrotransposon families preferentially insert in einkorn centromeres, contributing to their dynamic evolution. @thomaswicker314 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Einkorn genomics sheds light on history of the oldest domesticated wheat

Nature - Around 1% of the A subgenome of modern bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) originates from einkorn (Triticum monococcum), the first domesticated wheat species.

Check out the last chapter of my PhD on #Triticeae de novo genes! Non-coding regions of #TEs could hold the key to functional innovation in TM domains and evolution of secreted proteins. 🌱🌾 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

A survey of lineage‐specific genes in Triticeae reveals de novo gene evolution from genomic raw...

Diploid plant genomes typically contain ~35,000 genes, almost all belonging to highly conserved gene families. Only a small fraction are lineage-specific, which are found in only one or few closely...

Oats, triticale, hull-less barley, lupin, faba beans and buckwheat are rarely cultivated. The EU project @H2020Cropdiva intends to change that. Agroscope analyses the value chains of four of these crops in order to promote their cultivation and processing. agrarforschungschweiz.ch/en/…

@alexsoti_92, our colleagues and I just published a paper reporting the spread of wheat powdery mildew across the world in historical times. Mildew spread through human migration and trade and locally adapted through hybridization. @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
