Across 325 Darwin Tree of Life genomes, satellite-array and transposon-cluster centromeres are phylogenetically scattered, fitting a model of repeated interconversion; satellites share higher-order repeat structure but not sequence.

The paper identifies AvrWTK4, a pathogen effector recognised by the wheat tandem kinase receptor WTK4, and shows its interaction with the HMA-like domain of WTK4.

The paper identifies how two wheat resistance alleles, Pm3d and Pm3e, recognize structurally diverse mildew effectors to confer broad-spectrum resistance.

This study identifies Lr14a as a calcium-permeable channel in wheat that mediates cytoplasmic calcium influx, essential for stomatal immunity against leaf rust.

This study presents a reference metagenome of the lichen Cladonia rangiformis, revealing its complex microbiome and genomic features of its fungal and algal partners.

The paper uses k-mer-based GWAS on a wheat collection to identify novel powdery mildew resistance loci, finding 27 new loci and a region for adult plant resistance.

The paper compares centromere composition and architecture across oat species and their relatives, finding rapid evolution and distinct retrotransposon dynamics.

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 a chromosome-scale rye genome assembly to study genomic evolution and agronomic traits in Triticeae crops.
