This study quantifies the vertical distribution of Phytophthora agathidicida oospore DNA in kauri forest soils, showing that shallow sampling is sufficient for sensitive detection.

This study evaluates β-glucanases as cell wall-permeabilising agents against Phytophthora agathidicida oospores, showing synergistic enzyme combinations enhance biocide effectiveness.

This study evaluates oxathiapiprolin's protective and curative efficacy against kauri dieback disease in planta, finding it effective for prevention but not for curing established infections.

This study shows that spherical mreB deletion mutants of Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 can regain fitness through mutations in Pbp1A, restoring cell size homeostasis and supporting a hypothesis about balanced transpeptidase and glycosyltransferase functions.

This study shows how an enzyme evolved from a solute-binding protein through structural and catalytic changes, highlighting mechanisms of de novo enzyme emergence.
