The paper identifies a biochemical mechanism by which the MpARF1 transcription factor activates gene expression through subnuclear clustering and Mediator complex recruitment, revealing an evolutionary innovation in auxin response.

This study investigates the evolutionary diversification of plant actins, finding that actin copy number increases correlate with plant complexity and that functional distinctions are maintained through specific sequence changes.

The paper characterizes CRKs in Arabidopsis thaliana using population genetics and AlphaFold, revealing clade-specific selection pressures and conserved structural features of CRK extracellular domains.

This study analyzes population dynamics and virulence-associated loci in the oat crown rust fungus using genomic and phenotypic data from isolates in the USA and South Africa.

The paper analyzes TE activity in Parastagonospora nodorum using population genomics, finding recent TE activation despite RIP defenses and purifying selection maintaining low insertion frequencies.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing and association mapping to identify the genetic basis of fungicide resistance in a global panel of Parastagonospora nodorum isolates, revealing multiple resistance alleles and no fitness trade-offs.
