Population Genomic Analyses Reveal Geographic Structure in Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA Isolates Associated With Agronomic Crops.
Article in Molecular ecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Soilborne fungal pathogens threaten food security, but limited knowledge of their population biology, including genetic variability and population structure, hinders the development of effective strategies to prevent crop losses. Rhizoctonia solani AG-1 is a significant soilborne pathogen worldwide, divided into subgroups based on host range and molecular diversity. Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA causes sheath blight in rice and aerial blight in soybean, two devastating diseases in these economically important crops. Rice and soybean are often grown in rotation, leading to the buildup of inoculum in the fields over cropping seasons. Monitoring the genetic variability and structure of R. solani AG1-IA is critical to understand the population biology of the pathogen and aid in disease management practices, including the screening and development of new resistant cultivars. A total of 145 isolates of R. solani collected between 1993 and 2022 from different hosts and states in the USA were sequenced. The population genetic structure was inferred with clustering approaches based on approximately two million biallelic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA showed relatively high genetic diversity and little departure from mutation-drift equilibrium, suggesting that R. solani AG1-IA is a well-established, widespread pathogen with a stable demographic history in the USA. While populations had a clear geographic structure, they lacked host specialization, suggesting dispersal is mainly distance limited. Shared ancestry between populations and the discovery of clonal lineages, however, indicated recent connections between geographic areas. Our work provides valuable insights into the evolutionary history and population biology of R. solani AG1-IA, offering a foundation for developing targeted management strategies and resistant crop varieties.
