The paper presents fifteen near T2T assemblies of Brazilian Fusarium graminearum isolates, revealing structural conservation and a core genome with implications for phenotypic variance.

This paper reviews the impact of long-read sequencing on fungal genome assemblies, highlighting progress, disparities, and remaining taxonomic gaps.

This study identifies FgKnr4 as a conserved fungal protein critical for cell wall integrity and pathogenicity, validated through network analysis and functional studies in Fusarium graminearum and Zymoseptoria tritici.

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.

The paper identifies a conserved intergenic region in Fusarium graminearum suitable for targeted integration, develops a cloning system, and validates its utility for gene studies and protein secretion analysis.
