Genetic mapping of trait plasticity in a plant pathogenic fungus reveals genetic architecture and candidate genes for plasticity

The paper maps genetic loci controlling phenotypic plasticity in the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici using long-term phenotypic and genotypic data across multiple environments.

Cultivar-specific fungicide resistance emerges during a growing season in field populations of Zymoseptoria tritici

The paper measures fungicide resistance in Zymoseptoria tritici field populations across wheat cultivars and growing seasons, finding high diversity and cultivar-specific resistance patterns.

Mapping genomic regions associated with temperature stress in the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici

This study identifies genomic regions associated with temperature stress responses in Zymoseptoria tritici using QTL mapping and candidate gene analysis.

Quantitative trait locus mapping of osmotic stress response in the wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici

This study maps quantitative trait loci (QTL) for osmotic stress response in Zymoseptoria tritici, identifying candidate genes and QTL associated with salt tolerance.

Low genetic variation is associated with low mutation rate in the giant duckweed

The paper shows that the giant duckweed has extremely low genetic diversity due to its exceptionally low mutation rate despite a large population size.

Male Anolis lizards prefer virgin females

This study shows male Anolis lizards prefer virgin females over non-virgin females in two-choice trials, suggesting they can discriminate based on reproductive history rather than body size.
