Repeated loss of function at HD mating-type genes and of recombination suppression without mating-type locus linkage in anther-smut fungi

Elise A. Lucotte, Paul Jay, Quentin Rougemont…·Tatiana Giraud

The paper shows that HD mating-type genes have lost function in three Microbotryum species, with PR genes controlling mating compatibility, and reports evolutionary strata from recombination suppression.

Host-pathogen coevolution promotes the evolution of general, broad-spectrum resistance and reduces foreign pathogen spillover risk

Samuel V. Hulse, Janis Antonovics, Michael E. Hood, Emily L. Bruns

The paper models how host-pathogen coevolution influences the evolution of general resistance and affects susceptibility to foreign pathogens.

Fungal hacking of the plant sex-determination pathway via interference with AGL24 in Silene latifolia

Naoko Fujita, Michael E. Hood, Yuka Komoda, Takashi Akagi

This study identifies SlAGL24 as a key factor in fungal-induced sex conversion in Silene latifolia, showing its role in regulating plant sexuality through fungal interference.

Sequential colonization events with restricted gene flow in a widespread European carnation species

Tadeusz Kaczmarek, Xilong Chen, Simone Fior…·Amandine Cornille

This study investigates the colonization history of Dianthus carthusianorum using genome-wide SNPs and ABC-RF to reveal sequential East-West colonization events with restricted gene flow.
