This study shows that wheat- and barley-adapted Puccinia striiformis can sexually hybridize on a shared alternate host, producing progeny with novel host phenotypes.

The paper identifies a novel class of resistance genes in Myrtaceae, TNJ, characterized by Jacalin domains replacing LRRs, and suggests their role in pathogen recognition.

This study presents a chromosome-level genome of Austropuccinia psidii, revealing its unique genomic features and infection dynamics across diverse hosts.

The paper uses long-read genomics to study dikaryotic fungus genome biology, revealing nuclear-specific evolution and allele-specific expression.

The paper investigates how intragenomic variants of an effector gene influence early infection in the rust fungus Austropuccinia psidii.

This study develops a diagnostic method using mating-type HD locus alleles to identify new incursions of the myrtle rust pathogen Austropuccinia psidii.

The paper presents a chromosome-level pseudo-phased genome for Melaleuca quinquenervia and identifies allelic diversity in NLR-type resistance genes using a novel pipeline.

This paper reports the assembly of a large, highly contiguous genome for Austropuccinia psidii, revealing its expansion through transposable elements and low GC content.
