“…Hence, polyphagous fungal pathogens can form collections of specialist populations, each associated with a limited number of hosts (i.e. poly-specialists, such as the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae; Gladieux et al, 2018;Valent et al, 2019). Depending on time-based, geographic and genetic factors (Nosil et al, 2009), speciation can then unfold relatively rapidly between pathogen populations .…”

Summary The host plant is often the main variable explaining population structure in fungal plant pathogens, because specialization contributes to reduce gene flow between populations associated with different hosts. Previous population genetic analysis revealed that French populations of the grey mould pathogen Botrytis cinerea were structured by hosts tomato and grapevine, suggesting host specialization in this highly polyphagous pathogen. However, these findings raised questions about the magnitude of this specialization and the possibility of specialization to other hosts. Here we report specialization of B. cinerea populations to tomato and grapevine hosts but not to other tested plants. Population genetic analysis revealed two pathogen clusters associated with tomato and grapevine, while the other clusters co‐occurred on hydrangea, strawberry and bramble. Measurements of quantitative pathogenicity were consistent with host specialization of populations found on tomato, and to a lesser extent, populations found on grapevine. Pathogen populations from hydrangea and strawberry appeared to be generalist, while populations from bramble may be weakly specialized. Our results suggest that the polyphagous B. cinerea is more accurately described as a collection of generalist and specialist individuals in populations. This work opens new perspectives for grey mould management, while suggesting spatial optimization of crop organization within agricultural landscapes.

“…Among these, a newly emerged disease named wheat blast caused by Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae ) is significantly impacting on yields in South America, and more recently, in South Asia where the climatic conditions in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan are conducive for the outbreak of wheat blast (Saharan et al ., 2016; Islam et al ., 2019; Valent et al ., 2019). It has been estimated that approximately 60% of the wheat‐growing areas of South Asia are prone to wheat blast occurrence (Mottaleb et al ., 2018; Islam et al ., 2019).…”

The outbreak of wheat blast (Pyricularia oryzae, syn. Magnaporthe oryzae) in Bangladesh and India in recent times is a cause of grave concern for future wheat production in South Asian countries. In this review, we focus on the origin and pathology of P. oryzae and its current status and impact on trade of wheat in South Asia. We also consider future directions for efficient detection, monitoring, forecasting, and managing this destructive disease. Proper detection and monitoring are essential for imposing disease management strategies. Cutting‐edge tools such as geospatial modelling and remote sensing technologies based on field observation will be pivotal to efficiently contain and manage the disease. Strong quarantine regulations too are critical in preventing the pathogen movement and are also discussed within. Complementary approaches, such as the induction of systemic resistance by applying plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria or probiotic bacteria, are also considered here. This review provides a comprehensive summary on the status of wheat blast in South‐East Asia and will provide an important resource for wheat blast research in the affected areas.
