The bZIP transcription factor PnAda1 functions as a regulator of virulence, fungicide tolerance and necrotrophy in the wheat pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum

This study identifies PnAda1 as a regulator of virulence, fungicide tolerance, and necrotrophy in Parastagonospora nodorum through transcriptomic and phenotypic analyses.

Dissecting allele-specific fungicide resistance mechanisms by heterologous expression of the demethylase inhibitor target gene Cyp51 in a phytopathogen model

The paper functionally characterizes fungicide resistance mechanisms by expressing Ptt Cyp51 alleles in a fungal pathogen, showing allele-specific resistance and gene regulation differences.

Selective sweeps in populations of the broad host range plant pathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

This study identifies four population clusters and detects selective sweeps in S. sclerotiorum isolates from different continents, with sweeps overlapping transcriptional regulation genes.

Single-Cell RNAseq analysis of infiltrating neoplastic cells at the migrating front of human glioblastoma

This study uses single-cell RNAseq to analyze infiltrating neoplastic cells in human glioblastoma, identifying consistent gene signatures and distinct myeloid cell populations across patients.
