Comparative genomics reveals shared accessory regions between members of two Fusarium species complexes virulent on garden pea

The paper identifies shared accessory regions between two Fusarium species complexes that cause garden pea disease, suggesting a common origin and horizontal transfer of virulence genes.

Insects visit Fusarium xyrophilum pseudoflowers on the host Xyris surinamensis (Xyridaceae) and carry fungal DNA on their bodies

The paper investigates whether Fusarium xyrophilum pseudoflowers attract insects for dispersal by analyzing insect visitation, fungal DNA on insects, and volatile compounds.
