The paper introduces PlantLRR-PRR, a pipeline for annotating RLP/RLKs in tomato, revealing evolutionary patterns and TE enrichment in defense-related RLPs.

Deleting 27 CDIP-candidate genes (26 confirmed CDIPs) and two phytotoxin biosynthesis genes in Botrytis cinerea nearly abolishes apple infection but leaves slow leaf lesions, pointing to redundant, unidentified host-killing factors.

The paper analyzes whole-genome sequences from wheat fields to determine how seasonal changes and fungicide use affect genetic variation in Zymoseptoria tritici.

The paper analyzes genomic divergence in Alternaria alternata populations across wild tomato hosts, finding two divergent clades not linked to host, geography, or habitat.

This study compares genomic repertoires of endophytic and pathogenic Alternaria atra isolates, finding no clear genomic differences distinguishing their ecological roles.

This study investigates the distribution and pathogenicity of two small-spored Alternaria species in solanaceous crops, finding they are ecologically overlapping and equally pathogenic.

This study identifies genotype-specific gene expression patterns in Solanum pennellii that correlate with resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, highlighting early defense gene activation and a WRKY6-centered regulatory network.

This study observes rapid genetic adaptation and population dynamics in Arabidopsis thaliana across diverse climates over 5 years, showing predictable adaptation trends linked to survival and extinction risks.

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

The paper investigates the genomic and regulatory mechanisms of quantitative disease resistance in wild tomato species, finding that species-specific regulatory features, not conserved modules, drive resistance against a necrotrophic pathogen.

This paper examines horizontal chromosome transfer in fungi, highlighting a preference for accessory chromosomes and proposing mechanisms for their regulated transfer.

The paper analyzes whole-genome sequences of Zymoseptoria tritici from three fields to assess within-field diversity and effector variation, finding higher diversity than previously reported and effector haplotypes within single lesions.

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 uses a multi-omics approach to classify Arabidopsis thaliana RLPs into functional classes and identifies differences in abundance, genome clustering, and interaction partners.

Fusarium oxysporum chromosomes fall into four classes by divergence and dispensability; H3K27me3-marked regions diverge faster, and tomato pathogenicity regions show footprints of horizontal transfer.

This paper investigates the genomic and population genetic features of Ramularia collo-cygni to understand its global spread and epidemic potential.
