The paper investigates how a necrotrophic fungal pathogen maintains virulence after losing three key effectors by identifying a compensatory effector network.

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

This study investigates the functional domains of the transcription factor PnPf2 in Parastagonospora nodorum, revealing the MHR's role in protein-protein interactions and virulence.

The study identifies six distinct pathotype groups in Australian Bgt isolates and highlights wheat varieties with resistance genes effective against these isolates.

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

This study investigates the interaction between two wheat pathogens, showing that their co-infection leads to higher pathogen biomass and necrosis, with one pathogen suppressing the other depending on establishment order.

This study identifies pathogenicity effector candidates and accessory genome features in Parastagonospora nodorum using pan-genomic analysis of 173 isolates.

This study analyzes transcription factor diversity across plant-pathogenic fungi to understand its relationship with virulence.

This study improves the genome annotation of Phytophthora cinnamomi using proteogenomics, identifying new genes and correcting existing annotations.
