Multiplexed effector screening for recognition by endogenous resistance genes using positive defense reporters in wheat protoplasts

S. Wilson, B. Dagvadorj, R. Tam, L. Murphy, S. Schulz-Kroenert, N. Heng, E. Crean, J. Greenwood, J. Rathjen, B. Schwessinger

This paper develops a wheat protoplast assay for efficient screening of Avr/R gene interactions, enabling multiplexed testing and improved identification of defense responses.

Distinct life histories impact dikaryotic genome evolution in the rust fungus Puccinia striiformis causing stripe rust in wheat

B. Schwessinger, Y.-J. Chen, R. Tien, J. K. Vogt, J. Sperschneider, R. Nagar, M. McMullan, T. Sicheritz-Ponten, C. Sorensen, M. S. Hovmoller, J. Rathjen, A. Fejer Justesen

This study compares two isolates of the wheat rust fungus Puccinia striiformis with different life histories, finding that long-term asexual evolution leads to genome expansion, transposable element accumulation, and increased heterozygosity.
