Sequencing and analysis of genomes of fungi responsible for gray mold rot on grapevines and white rot on colza has just been completed. This research increases understanding of the ability of these fungi to infect numerous plants. Study of the genomes will eventually lead to new methods in an integrated battle against the two major pathogens.
