This study identifies two new resistance loci, Stb23 and Stb24, against Zymoseptoria tritici and develops KASP markers for their use in wheat breeding.

The paper identifies a mobile genetic element, Sanctuary, that facilitates horizontal transfer of the virulence gene ToxA among wheat-infecting fungal pathogens.

This study examines the evolution and function of NIP2 paralogs in Rhynchosporium commune, showing their genomic distribution, expression during infection, and potential virulence roles.

The paper analyzes a thousand-genome panel of Zymoseptoria tritici to trace its global spread and identify genetic changes associated with climatic adaptation.

A GWAS study identifies three new QTLs associated with seedling-stage resistance, adult-plant stage resistance, and multi-stage resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici in an Australian wheat diversity panel.

The paper identifies a horizontally transferred 14kb genomic element containing the virulence gene ToxA among three fungal wheat pathogens, revealing transposon-mediated transfer and decay processes.

This study identifies secondary metabolite clusters in three wheat pathogens, showing horizontal gene acquisition and loss linked to host adaptation.
