The paper identifies the polyphyletic origin and horizontal gene transfer mechanisms driving the emergence of a novel resistance-breaking Fola race.

This study compares the genome and transcriptome of two races of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, identifying differences in effector genes and expression patterns between them.

This study investigates genome plasticity in Scheffersomyces stipitis, showing that retrotransposons drive genomic diversity and rapid adaptation through chromosome rearrangements.

This paper investigates the genomic variation in Phytophthora fragariae to identify pathogenicity-associated genes and finds that transcriptional variation, not sequence polymorphisms, is linked to race-specific avirulence.

The paper generates a reference genome for Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae and identifies pathogen-specific regions and novel effector candidates through genomic and transcriptomic analysis.
