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

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

Transcriptomic analysis reveals SnTox8-mediated reprogramming of wheat defence signalling

This study identifies SnTox8-mediated reprogramming of wheat defence signalling through transcriptomic analysis of two wheat genotypes, revealing mechanisms of effector-triggered susceptibility.

Transposon-associated genetic structure of a fungal phytopathogen population of wheat

This study identifies a transposable element, Molly, that contributes to genetic diversity and population structure in the wheat pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum, influencing its virulence and adaptation.

Differential genetic resistance identified in Parastagonospora nodorum and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis-wheat pathosystems

The paper identifies genetic resistance mechanisms in wheat against two fungal pathogens, showing distinct resistance mechanisms for Septoria nodorum blotch and tan spot.
