This study examines the transcriptional response of emmer wheat to single and mixed infections with two pathogens, revealing distinct immune patterns under mixed infections.

The paper surveys wheat pathogen diversity in Sweden to improve disease diagnostics and management by identifying pathogenic and non-pathogenic taxa and potential biological control agents.

This study analyzes the population genomics and molecular epidemiology of wheat powdery mildew in Europe, revealing population structure linked to wind patterns and identifying loci under selection, including fungicide targets and avirulence genes.

The paper investigates how sequence-diverse effector proteins of wheat powdery mildew are recognized by immune receptors, revealing structural and functional mechanisms of recognition specificity.

The paper presents genome assemblies of three N. ditissima isolates infecting different host trees, highlighting their completeness and relevance due to limited prior genomic data.

This paper presents an experimental approach to study multi-species interactions in the Fusarium-Head Blight complex in wheat, showing that Zymoseptoria tritici affects wheat's response to F. graminearum and that Fusarium species composition influences disease outcomes in a genotype-specific manner.

The paper describes an improved genetic transformation protocol for Neonectria ditissima to disrupt NRPS genes and generate mutants.
