The paper traces the inheritance of a genomic haplotype linked to oil quality in canola over a century of breeding, revealing its pre-existing origin and long-term persistence through hitchhiking.

The paper analyzes structural variation in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum genomes to show distinct contributions of recombination and transposons to SV diversity and phenotypic variability.

The paper shows that fungal orphan effectors diversify through changes in thermodynamic frustration patterns at surface residues, increasing structural robustness while switching binding interfaces.

The paper identifies sRNAs in Brassica napus responsive to S. sclerotiorum infection using degradome and small RNA sequencing, revealing novel miRNAs and targets involved in plant immunity.

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