Data-driven inference of local behavioural rules predicts emergent properties of Phytophthora zoospore dispersal

The paper infers local behavioural rules from zoospore motion data and shows they predict dispersal in new environments.

Microtubules in the coenocyte Phytophthora function in nuclear positioning and sustaining tip growth

This study investigates microtubule organization and function in Phytophthora coenocytic hyphae, showing their role in nuclear positioning and sustaining tip growth.

MycorrhizaFinder: an efficient machine learning tool to quantify endomycorrhizal colonisation of real-world roots

MycorrhizaFinder is a machine learning tool that quantifies endomycorrhizal colonisation in roots, achieving 66% and 57% Macro F1 scores for arbuscular and ericoid mycorrhizal assessments respectively.

Live imaging reveals polarized calcium transients during plant pathogen development and host colonization

The paper uses live calcium imaging to study polarized Ca2+ transients in Phytophthora palmivora during pathogen development and host colonization, revealing stage-specific dynamics.

Engineering quantitative root disease resistance in barley by targeting conserved SCAR susceptibility genes without compromising seed yield or mycorrhizal symbiosis

This study identifies SCAR genes in barley and shows that inactivating two of them enhances resistance to a pathogen while increasing mycorrhizal colonization, without affecting seed yield.

Deep learning enables quantitative subcellular analysis of plant-microbe interfaces

HFinder uses deep learning to automate and quantify analysis of plant-microbe interfaces in confocal images, enabling detailed study of subcellular interactions.

An approach to enhance symbiotic nitrogen fixation

This study identifies GBP1 as a gene that negatively regulates nitrogen fixation in legumes, showing that its inactivation enhances nitrogen fixation without affecting nodule development.

Membrane Proteome of Phytophthora parasitica Zoospores: How Does Sensing Occur?

The paper identifies membrane proteins in Phytophthora parasitica zoospores and shows some are localized to flagella, suggesting roles in sensing and movement.

LbCas12-mediated multiplex gene editing and 2-fluoroadenine counter-selection in Phytophthora palmivora

This study demonstrates multiplex gene editing in Phytophthora palmivora using LbCas12 and 2-fluoroadenine counter-selection, enabling efficient knockout of two APT genes without affecting virulence.

Transcriptional activity and epigenetic regulation of transposable elements in the symbiotic fungus Rhizophagus irregularis

The paper examines transcriptional activity and epigenetic regulation of transposable elements in the symbiotic fungus Rhizophagus irregularis, finding evidence of TE activity and epigenomic regulation.
