Natural habitats are reservoirs of Fusarium lineages highly pathogenic on Triticum aestivum

The paper identifies highly pathogenic Fusarium lineages in natural habitats that can infect wheat, highlighting regional variation in pathogenicity and colonization patterns.

Stepwise evolution of the developmental and symbiotic functions of DELLA in land plants

The paper investigates the evolutionary conservation of DELLA protein functions in liverworts and finds GA-independent developmental roles are conserved, but DELLA is not involved in mycorrhizal symbiosis.

A Xanthomonas effector protein contributes quantitatively to virulence by inducing at least three minor Susceptibility genes

This study identifies three susceptibility genes in cauliflower that contribute to disease caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris through Tal12a-mediated transcriptional changes.

A single genetic innovation at the origin of plant terrestrialization

This study identifies a single genetic innovation, p-GPATs, as critical for the evolution of the plant cuticle and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal symbiosis during terrestrialization.

A novel pathosystem between Aeschynomene evenia and Aphanomyces euteiches reveals new immune components in quantitative legume root-rot resistance.

This study uses Aeschynomene evenia to identify immune components involved in quantitative resistance to Aphanomyces euteiches, revealing dual-function kinases that regulate both symbiosis and immunity.

EPP1 is an ancestral component of the plant Common SymbiosisPathway

The paper identifies EPP1 as a fourth gene in the ancestral common symbiosis pathway, essential for plant-microbe interactions across multiple plant clades.

Symbiotic diversification relies on an ancestral gene network in plants

The paper identifies an ancestral gene network involved in intracellular symbiosis in plants, showing its conservation and convergent recruitment across different symbiotic systems.
