The paper identifies cis-regulatory elements in Ustilago maydis that control effector gene expression during different infection phases.

This study uses a recombinant hybrid of two smut fungi to identify gene regulation and virulence factors contributing to pathogenic differences.

This paper introduces a CRISPR/Cas system using ribonucleoprotein complexes and telomere vectors for efficient marker-free genome editing in Botrytis cinerea, achieving high editing rates and enabling multiple edits.
