Killer meiotic driver prevents chromosome loss and enhances fitness in a fungal pathogen

Gema Puebla-Planas, Andrea Doddi, Dilay Hazal Ayhan…·Antonio Di Pietro

This study shows that the meiotic driver Spore Killer (spok) prevents chromosome loss and enhances fitness in the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum by maintaining dispensable chromosomes during meiosis.

A near-complete genome assembly of the Fusarium oxysporum keratitis isolate MRL8996

Andrea Doddi, Gema Puebla-Planas, Manuel S. López‐Berges, Antonio Di Pietro

The paper presents a near-complete genome assembly of Fusarium oxysporum MRL8996 using hybrid Nanopore and Hi-C scaffolding, revealing 16 chromosomes and structural variations.

Copper acquisition is essential for plant colonization and virulence in a root-infecting vascular wilt fungus

Rafael Palos-Fernández, María Victoria Aguilar Pontes, Gema Puebla-Planas…·Manuel S. López‐Berges

This study identifies copper acquisition via Mac1 as essential for virulence in Fusarium oxysporum, showing that copper transporters and reductases can compensate for Mac1 loss.
