The paper identifies seven QTL associated with Leptosphaeria maculans adaptation to Brassica species and finds epistasis contributes to transgressive phenotypes in progeny isolates.

This study characterizes the Rlm3 resistance gene in rapeseed, showing it recognizes effectors from multiple fungal pathogens and identifies key regions for recognition.

The paper shows that meiotic recombination in Leptosphaeria maculans produces isolates better adapted to the nonhost Brassica carinata than their parental isolates.

The paper clones a new avirulence gene, AvrLmS-Lep2, using two independent methods and confirms its role in inducing resistance in Brassica napus.

The paper maps histone modifications in two Leptosphaeria maculans species with contrasting genome structures to analyze how chromatin organization influences gene expression and pathogenicity.
