Molecular analyses identify hybridization‐mediated nuclear evolution in newly discovered fungal hybrids

Abstract Hybridization may be a major driver in the evolution of plant pathogens. In a high elevation Alpine larch stand in Montana, a novel hybrid fungal pathogen of trees originating from the mating of Heterobasidion irregulare with H. occidentale has been recently discovered. In this study, seque...
