Major effector loss reveals compensatory pathogenicity networks in a necrotrophic wheat pathogen

Shota Morikawa, Callum J. Verdonk, Leon Lenzo, Huyen T. T. Phan, Eiko Furuki, Kristina Gagalova, Johannes Wolfram JWD Debler, Chala J. Turo, Carl J. Mousley, Evan John, Bernadette M. Henares, Kar‐Chun Tan

The paper investigates how a necrotrophic fungal pathogen maintains virulence after losing three key effectors by identifying a compensatory effector network.

A conserved fungal transcription factor domain drives protein-protein interactions and necrotrophic effector-mediated virulence in Parastagonospora nodorum

Shota Morikawa, Carlia Herbst, Evan John, Daniel Croll, Carl J. Mousley, Bernadette M. Henares, Kar‐Chun Tan, Callum J. Verdonk

This study investigates the functional domains of the transcription factor PnPf2 in Parastagonospora nodorum, revealing the MHR's role in protein-protein interactions and virulence.

Fair-weather friends: Unequal partnerships between Parastagonospora nodorum and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis define disease dynamics in wheat

Leon Lenzo, Evan John, Jason Bradley, Geoff Thomas, Dion Bennett, Kar‐Chun Tan

This study investigates the interaction between two wheat pathogens, showing that their co-infection leads to higher pathogen biomass and necrosis, with one pathogen suppressing the other depending on establishment order.
