This paper introduces a transformation-free confocal staining technique for visualizing plant-fungal interactions and uses machine learning to quantify fungal volume and nuclear breakdown.

This study analyzes 2,478 fungal genomes to compare adaptive evolution rates across 20 species, finding that high adaptation rates are not exclusive to pathogens.

This study analyzes the population structure and demographic history of the barley pathogen Pyrenophora teres f. teres using genomes from four continents, showing its correlation with barley cultivation and human activities.

This study compares the apoplastic environment of two wheat genotypes during pathogen infection, revealing differences in microbial composition and defense mechanisms.

The paper compares secondary metabolite production in three Zymoseptoria tritici isolates, finding conserved biochemical profiles despite genetic variation and showing ABA gene cluster up-regulation during host colonization.

This study identifies genetic mutations associated with DMI fungicide resistance in Cercospora beticola using GWAS and selective sweep analysis.

The paper describes the accidental integration of a mitochondrial homing endonuclease into the nuclear genome of Ustilago maydis, resulting in a non-functional gene and a truncated helicase gene.

This study examines mating-type locus rearrangements in Citrus-associated Phyllosticta species, revealing shifts from homothallism to heterothallism linked to pathogenicity and disease management.

This study examines how domestication affects the ecological assembly of bacterial and fungal microbiota in wheat species, finding distinct community patterns and a greater role of neutral processes in domesticated wheat.

This study compares two methods for isolating Saccharomyces yeasts from forest soil, finding enrichment culturing is less labor-intensive but detects rare species and outlier phenotypes.

This study investigates how the hemibiotrophic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici induces systemic susceptibility in wheat by suppressing immune-related metabolites and altering the leaf microbiome.

This study identifies Zt107320 as a transcription factor in Zymoseptoria tritici that regulates dimorphic switching, growth, and virulence during host and non-host infections.

This study identifies genomic determinants of adaptive evolution in the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici by analyzing selection patterns and recombination rates across its genome.

This study compares recombination maps in two fungal plant pathogens, finding conserved large-scale patterns but divergent small-scale hotspots, suggesting dynamic recombination landscapes contributing to rapid evolution.
