This study identifies a transposable element, Molly, that contributes to genetic diversity and population structure in the wheat pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum, influencing its virulence and adaptation.

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

The paper characterizes fungicide resistance in Botrytis cinerea isolates from Australian vineyards across seven fungicide modes of action, finding resistance frequencies and identifying associated genotypes and gene expression patterns.

The paper develops an in-field ASqPCR assay to quantify the strobilurin resistance mutation G143A in Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, achieving 1.67% detection sensitivity within 90 minutes.
