Insects visit Fusarium xyrophilum pseudoflowers on the host Xyris surinamensis (Xyridaceae) and carry fungal DNA on their bodies

The paper investigates whether Fusarium xyrophilum pseudoflowers attract insects for dispersal by analyzing insect visitation, fungal DNA on insects, and volatile compounds.

Why do some predicted protein structures fold poorly? Benchmarking AlphaFold, ESMFold, and Boltz in maize

The paper benchmarks AlphaFold, ESMFold, and Boltz in maize to assess their performance on plant proteins, finding lower confidence scores and geometry issues in less conserved proteins.

The Fusarium graminearum effector protease FgTPP1 suppresses immune responses and facilitates Fusarium Head Blight Disease

This study identifies FgTPP1, a protease from Fusarium graminearum, as a virulence factor that suppresses immune responses and contributes to Fusarium Head Blight disease in wheat.

Application of RFdiffusion to predict interspecies protein-protein interactions between fungal pathogens and cereal crops

This paper applies RFdiffusion to predict interspecies protein-protein interactions between fungal pathogens and cereal crops, achieving high recall in identifying validated interactions.

Fusarium Protein Toolkit: AI-powered tools to combat fungal threats to agriculture

The paper introduces the Fusarium Protein Toolkit, a web-based resource that provides structural models and variant effect predictions for Fusarium proteins to aid in understanding and mitigating crop diseases and mycotoxin contamination.

PanEffect: A pan-genome visualization tool for variant effects in maize

PanEffect visualizes variant effects across 51 maize genomes using ESM scores, enabling exploration of 550 million amino acid substitutions and 2.3 million natural variations.
