For Blighted Waves of Grain: Fusarium graminearum in the Postgenomics Era

Fungi display astounding diversity in their pathogenicity. We categorize them as biotrophs or necrotrophs and as obligate or facultative pathogens, but these categories do not reflect their polymorphic nature. Our approach to controlling disease would be better served by improving our understanding
