A secreted protease-like protein in Zymoseptoria tritici is responsible for avirulence on Stb9 resistance gene in wheat

The paper identifies AvrStb9, a secreted protease-like protein in Zymoseptoria tritici, as an avirulence factor that interacts with the wheat Stb9 resistance gene to trigger immune responses.

Directed evolution predicts cytochrome b G37V target site modification as probable adaptive mechanism towards the QiI fungicide fenpicoxamid in Zymoseptoria tritici.

This paper uses directed evolution to predict that a cytochrome b G37V mutation confers resistance to the fungicide fenpicoxamid in Zymoseptoria tritici.

The failure of B cells to induce non-canonical MYD88 splice variants correlates with lymphomagenesis via sustained NF-κB signaling

The paper shows that B cells lack a negative feedback loop that normally limits TLR signaling through MYD88 splice variants, leading to sustained NF-κB activation and lymphomagenesis.

Comparative proteomics of osmotic signal transduction mutants in Botrytis cinerea explain loss of pathogenicity phenotypes and highlight interaction with cAMP and Ca2+ signalling pathways

This study uses proteomics to analyze osmotic signal transduction mutants in Botrytis cinerea, identifying differential proteins and linking Sak1 MAPK to cAMP and Ca2+ signaling pathways.

Plasticity of the MFS1 promoter leads to multi drug resistance in the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici

The study identifies promoter insertions in the MFS1 gene as a mechanism for multi-drug resistance in Zymoseptoria tritici, highlighting the role of repeated genomic elements in adaptive resistance.
