Intraspecific variation at the free-living stage of a soil-borne pathogen is organized into an exploration syndrome associated with infectivity

The paper measures phenotypic variation in free-living stages of Aphanomyces euteiches and identifies an 'exploration syndrome' linked to infectivity and geographic origin.

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 plant single nucleotide polymorphism impacts nectar sugar composition, microbial diversity and pollinator visits

The paper shows a single nucleotide polymorphism in a cell-wall invertase gene affects sunflower nectar chemistry, microbial diversity, and pollinator visits.

Fine mapping and genomic analyses reveal a tandem kinase-pseudokinase candidate underlying OrDeb2-mediated resistance to Orobanche cumana in sunflower

This study identifies a tandem kinase-pseudokinase gene, RLK-2, as a candidate underlying OrDeb2-mediated resistance to Orobanche cumana in sunflower through genetic and physical mapping.

Phylogenomics of Plasmopara halstedii reveals genomic regions associated with the breakdown of sunflower downy mildew resistance genes

The paper uses phylogenomic analyses to identify genomic regions linked to the breakdown of sunflower downy mildew resistance genes in Plasmopara halstedii.

Natural variation in an NLR pair confers thermostable resistance to a devastating bacterial pathogen

The paper identifies a natural genetic variant in the RPS4/RRS1 NLR pair that confers thermostable resistance to Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum in Arabidopsis thaliana.

New resistance to bacterial wilt in heat-stressed tomato is revealed by two-reference Genome Wide Association

This study identifies 44 candidate genes for temperature-stable resistance to bacterial wilt in tomato using a new panel and two-reference genome approach.

The relative effects of abiotic and biotic factors in explaining the structure of soil bacterial communities at diverse taxonomic levels

This study assesses the relative impacts of abiotic and biotic factors on soil bacterial communities across taxonomic levels using 160 sites in southwest France.

Comparative transcriptomics reveal a highly polymorphic Xanthomonas HrpG virulence regulon

This study uses transcriptomics to compare the HrpG regulon across 17 Xanthomonas strains, revealing diverse gene regulation beyond the T3SS and T3Es.

The genomics of linkage drag in sunflower

This study analyzes the genomic and phenotypic impacts of wild introgressions in sunflower, finding that while some traits improve, most introgressions negatively affect yield and quality.

Genome sequence of the cluster root forming white lupin

The paper provides a high-quality genome sequence of white lupin and identifies a transcription factor regulating cluster root formation.

Family-Companion: analyse, visualise, browse, query and share your homology clusters

Family-Companion provides a web tool for computing, analyzing, and exploring homology clusters, with visualization and sharing features.

Comparison of GWAS models to identify non-additive genetic control of flowering time in sunflower hybrids

This study compares additive and non-additive GWAS models to identify genomic regions controlling flowering time in sunflower hybrids, finding non-additive models better detect trait-associated loci.
