This study investigates DNA methylation reprogramming during zebrafish sex determination and transition, showing its role in germline development and sexual plasticity.

The paper analyzes sRNA bidirectional crosstalk between wheat and Zymoseptoria tritici, finding no cross-kingdom RNAi but identifying sRNA regulation of defense and auxin-related genes.

The paper identifies transposable element insertions as a mechanism regulating Zmr1 expression and melanin accumulation in the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici.

This study uses QTL mapping to uncover the genetic basis of virulence in Zymoseptoria tritici, identifying both population-specific and shared genetic factors affecting pathogen reproduction and host damage.
