This study shows that acclimation to high daily temperature fluctuations in Arabidopsis thaliana reduces disease resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by altering gene expression and immune regulatory networks.

The paper analyzes gene expression in Arabidopsis thaliana accessions to show that neutral transcriptome rewiring enables evolvable quantitative disease resistance.

The paper investigates how mechanical stress induces transient immune priming in Arabidopsis, showing sustained gene activation and dynamic network memory that limits resistance.

This study uses low-cost phenotyping to analyze QDR strategies in wild tomato species against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, revealing diverse resistance mechanisms and their genetic dependence.

The paper shows that fungal orphan effectors diversify through changes in thermodynamic frustration patterns at surface residues, increasing structural robustness while switching binding interfaces.

The paper identifies host-specific transcriptional programs in a fungal plant pathogen and shows cis-regulatory variation contributes to host range expansion.

This study identifies alternative splicing events in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum during host colonization, revealing host-specific transcript variation and potential functional diversity in secreted proteins.

This study identifies four population clusters and detects selective sweeps in S. sclerotiorum isolates from different continents, with sweeps overlapping transcriptional regulation genes.
