This study identifies diverse Vibrio species in the Teign Estuary, UK, and shows how rising temperatures and sewage pollution affect their growth, virulence, and antimicrobial resistance.

The paper reports a de novo genome assembly and annotation of Ensete ventricosum landrace Mazia, revealing unique genomic features and functional signatures compared to banana sub-genomes.

This study shows that Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains effectively inhibit pea downy mildew pathogen spore germination and sporulation, with synergistic effects when used together.

DiPPER2 is a pipeline for designing and evaluating taxon-specific PCR primers, ensuring specificity and sensitivity for pathogen detection.

This study evaluates dsRNA-mediated RNAi for suppressing key genes in downy mildew pathogens, showing effectiveness in gene silencing across species and over time.

This study evaluates the non-target effects of Allium spp. and Musa basjoo on soil microbiomes, finding that banana cultivation has a stronger impact on community composition than Allium.

DIAMOND2GO rapidly assigns Gene Ontology terms to genes or proteins using sequence similarity searches and enables enrichment analysis for over-represented terms in novel sequence sets.

This study identifies circadian clock genes in the oomycete pathogen Hpa and shows their synchronization with host Arabidopsis clock genes, impacting virulence.

The paper demonstrates the use of water samples for real-time genomic surveillance of ISKNV in Lake Volta, Ghana, showing that water samples can detect viral variants matching those from infected fish.

The paper identifies two-speed genome evolution in fungal pathogens, where virulence-related genes are enriched in repeat-rich regions while core genes are in repeat-poor regions.

The paper uses genome sequencing to show that TR4 Fusarium wilt isolates in Colombia and Peru are genetically distinct, suggesting separate introductions into South America.

This paper presents the genome of Peronospora belbahrii, revealing high heterozygosity, a small secretome, and CT-rich promoters, and suggests additional virulence factors.

The paper presents draft genome assemblies of Brassica cretica and finds no genetic support for subspecies classification.

The paper describes the creation of an ORFeome library for Zymoseptoria tritici, providing a resource for functional genomics studies of this wheat pathogen.
