This study examines the transcriptional response of emmer wheat to single and mixed infections with two pathogens, revealing distinct immune patterns under mixed infections.

The paper surveys wheat pathogen diversity in Sweden to improve disease diagnostics and management by identifying pathogenic and non-pathogenic taxa and potential biological control agents.

This paper presents an experimental approach to study multi-species interactions in the Fusarium-Head Blight complex in wheat, showing that Zymoseptoria tritici affects wheat's response to F. graminearum and that Fusarium species composition influences disease outcomes in a genotype-specific manner.

The paper investigates HvARM1, a partial gene duplicate of HvPUB15 in barley, showing its role in resistance to powdery mildew fungi and its interaction with plastid proteins.
