Transposable elements in genomic architecture of Monilinia fungal phytopathogens and TE-driven DMI-resistance adaptation.

Background: Fungicide resistance poses a significant challenge to plant disease management and influences the evolutionary dynamics of fungal pathogens. Besides being important phytopathogens, Monilinia species have become a model for discovering many fundamental questions related to fungal pathosystems. In this study, DMI-propiconazole sensitivity was investigated in view of transposable element (TE) dynamics in M.
