The paper presents haplotype-phased, chromosome-scale genomes of Puccinia hordei isolates, revealing repeat expansion, somatic hybridization, and genome plasticity.

EffectorGeneP improves gene annotation in pathogen genomes by predicting coding sequences from transcript data, outperforming existing methods and expanding the predicted secretome.

The paper characterizes novel clonal lineages of wheat stem rust in South America using genomic data and finds a predominant lineage unique to the region with stepwise mutation patterns.

The paper analyzes 30 Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae isolates from Australia to identify new races and a novel lineage, highlighting shifts in virulence and population structure.

This paper identifies a QTL for oat crown rust resistance linked to the Pc61 gene and develops KASP markers for breeding programs.

The paper characterizes the virulence of Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae isolates in Australia during the 2023 growing season and identifies new or increased virulence on resistance genes.

This study presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly of the flax rust fungus, revealing two large effector proteins, AvrM3 and AvrN, and providing insights into its mating system.

This study develops and validates KASP markers for crown rust resistance genes in oats, identifying new carriers and correcting previous classifications.

This study identifies the oat crown rust pathogen in Taiwan as Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae through molecular and phenotypic analysis of field samples collected between 2019 and 2021.

This study constructs a high-resolution haplotype pangenome of oat crown rust, revealing somatic hybridization, recombination, and intercontinental migration as drivers of genetic diversity.

This study analyzes population dynamics and virulence-associated loci in the oat crown rust fungus using genomic and phenotypic data from isolates in the USA and South Africa.

The paper shows that the Ug99 wheat stem rust pathogen emerged through somatic hybridisation and nuclear exchange between dikaryons, with one haploid nucleus genotype shared with an older African lineage.
