Population genomics of the emerging forest pathogen Neonectria neomacrospora
biorxiv(2020)
摘要
The fungal pathogen Neonectria neomacrospora is of increasing concern in Europe where, within the last decade, it has caused substantial damage to forest stands and ornamental trees of the genus Abies (Mill.). Using whole-genome sequencing of a comprehensive collection of isolates, we show the extent of three major clades within N. neomacrospora , which most likely diverged around the end of the last Ice Age. We find it likely that the current European epidemic of N. neomacrospora was founded from a population belonging to the east North American clade. All European isolates (1957-2019) had a common evolutionary history, but substantial and asymmetrical gene flow from the larger American source population could be detected. The European population shows multiple signs of having gone through a bottleneck and subsequent population expansion.
