The paper examines antimicrobial repertoires in lichen-forming fungi, finding conserved baseline capacity with lineage-specific variation and reduced antimicrobial systems in cyanolichens.

The paper identifies extensive intrachromosomal duplications in the accessory chromosome of TR4, showing its role in virulence and chromosome dynamics in F. oxysporum.

The paper shows that transposon activity in TR4 fungi deletes a secondary metabolite cluster, reducing fusaric acid production without affecting pathogenicity.

The paper constructs a pangenome variation graph for Fusarium oxysporum to study accessory chromosomes, identifying their variability and evolutionary dynamics.

This paper constructs a pan-mitogenome graph of nearly 500 Fusarium oxysporum mitogenomes to reveal frequent recombination and genetic variation, challenging the assumption of clonal reproduction.

This study shows that segmental duplications drive the evolution of accessory regions in Fusarium oxysporum, contributing to virulence evolution in banana pathogens.
