Fungal and algal lichen symbionts show different transcriptional expression patterns in two climate zones

The paper examines transcriptional differences in fungal and algal lichen symbionts from high- and low-elevation sites, revealing site-specific gene expression patterns related to climate adaptation.

QTL mapping in field plant populations reveals a genetic basis for frequency- and spatially-specific fungal pathosystem resistance

This study identifies a genetic locus associated with fungal pathogen resistance in wild tobacco plants, showing frequency- and spatially-dependent effects in mixed populations.

Protein kinase gene declines linearly with elevation: a shared genomic feature across species and continents in lichenized fungi suggests role in climate adaptation

The paper examines gene content variation in lichenized fungi across elevation gradients, finding a linear decline in protein kinase gene abundance with elevation.

A candidate gene cluster for the bioactive natural product gyrophoric acid in lichen-forming fungi

The paper identifies the biosynthetic gene cluster for gyrophoric acid in lichen-forming fungi using long-read sequencing and bioinformatics.
