Barley powdery mildew invasion coincides with the dynamic accumulation of leaf apoplastic extracellular vesicles that are associated with host stress response proteins

This study investigates the dynamics of extracellular vesicles in barley leaves during powdery mildew infection, finding increased abundance and specific protein associations with infection progression.

Horizontal transfers between fungal Fusarium species contributed to successive outbreaks of coffee wilt disease

This study identifies horizontal gene transfers from Fusarium oxysporum to Fusarium xylarioides as a mechanism driving the repeated outbreaks of coffee wilt disease.
