This study shows that distinct temporal host transcriptional responses to two Xanthomonas translucens strains influence bacterial leaf streak development in triticale.

The study identifies resistant barley accessions and marker-trait associations for bacterial leaf streak resistance using a subset of the World Barley Core Collection.

This study shows that gene loss and gain in Xanthomonas translucens drive host range shifts, with fitness costs for generalist behavior and enhanced virulence for specialist behavior.

This paper constructs a pangenome for Pyrenophora tritici-repentis and identifies structural homology in effector proteins, revealing genetic variations linked to pathogenicity.

The paper identifies a horizontally transferred 14kb genomic element containing the virulence gene ToxA among three fungal wheat pathogens, revealing transposon-mediated transfer and decay processes.
