Abstract:Venturia inaequalis, the causal fungal pathogen of apple scab, has evolved with its Malus hosts during apple domestication. This co‐evolution has resulted in a genetic structure in V. inaequalis populations from Europe and central Asia based on host species and geographic isolation. However, it is not yet clear if geographic isolation has led to population differentiation in North American isolates. We resequenced the genomes of 54 V. inaequalis isolates from North America and analysed them with publicly avail… Show more
