Combined generalist and host-specific transcriptional strategies enable host generalism in the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea

This study identifies general and host-specific transcriptional strategies in Botrytis cinerea that enable broad host range through metabolic and host-responsive gene modules.

Host-Botrytis co-transcriptomics reveals finely tuned interactions with closely related legumes

This study uses co-transcriptomics to analyze host-pathogen interactions between Botrytis cinerea and two legumes, finding that both host and pathogen exhibit transcriptional plasticity leading to similar disease outcomes despite genetic divergence.

A multi-plant transcriptomic atlas reveals conserved and lineage specific defense architectures in response to Botrytis cinerea

The paper maps immune responses of ten eudicot species to 72 Botrytis cinerea isolates, revealing conserved physiological outcomes and lineage-specific regulatory programs.

Identification of Small Molecule Inhibitors of PPM1D Using a Novel Drug Discovery Platform

This study identifies new PPM1D inhibitors using a drug discovery platform and shows their distinct biological effects compared to other DDR and p53 pathway modulators.
