Expert annotation and life-cycle transcriptomics of transcription factors in rust fungi (Pucciniales) highlight the role of cold shock proteins in dormancy exit

This study identifies transcription factors in rust fungi and finds that cold shock proteins are specifically expressed during dormancy exit in the rust life cycle.

The rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina expresses a conserved genetic program and distinct sets of secreted protein genes during infection of its two host plants, larch and poplar

This study compares the transcriptomes of the rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina during infection of larch and poplar, identifying host-specific secreted protein genes involved in host colonization.
