Quantifying Crop Disease Trait Dynamics through Longitudinal Imaging and Temporal Analytics

The paper presents a pipeline for longitudinal plant disease phenotyping using time-series imaging, enabling objective quantification of disease progression in wheat rusts.

Wheat and barley stripe rust pan-genome facilitates discovery of the predominant North American lineage's origin in somatic hybridization

The paper identifies the origin of the predominant North American Pst lineage, PstS18, as a somatic hybridization event between PstS1 and an unknown lineage.

Uncovering the history of recombination and population structure in western Canadian stripe rust populations through mating-type alleles

The paper analyzes mating-type alleles in Canadian stripe rust populations to uncover recombination history and population structure, identifying novel alleles and foreign incursions.
