Global population genomics and pangenome of the clubroot pathogen link clonal expansion and effector diversification to resistance breakdown in canola

The chromosome level genome of the Blueberry Stem Gall Wasp, Hemadas nubilipennis (Hymenoptera: Ormyridae) on lowbush blueberry (Vaccinium angustifolium) reveals repeat-driven expansion

The paper presents the first chromosome-level genome of the blueberry stem gall wasp, revealing repeat-driven genome expansion and insights into symbiont interactions and host adaptation.

RenSeq and whole genome sequencing uncover allelic diversity of clubroot resistance genes in commercial breeding canola lines

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing and RenSeq to analyze NLR gene diversity in clubroot-resistant canola lines and identifies allele-level variation contributing to resistance.

A clubroot pathogen PBS3-like effector manipulates hormonal crosstalk to alter root morphology during colonization

This study shows PbGH3, a clubroot pathogen effector, modulates SA-auxin homeostasis in plants to alter root morphology and promote infection.

Structure-guided secretome analysis of gall-forming microbes offers insights into effector diversity and evolution

The paper uses structural genomics to analyze secretomes of gall-forming microbes, identifying novel effector clusters and their potential roles in pathogenicity.

Arabidopsis ecotype screening reveals novel sources of clubroot resistance and insights into resistance inheritance

The paper screens Arabidopsis ecotypes for clubroot resistance, identifies novel resistant lines, and explores genetic mechanisms underlying resistance.

De novo assembly and annotation of the Empoasca fabae mitochondrial genome
