AgroGem is a transient transformation system for plants that improves CRISPR editing efficiency and enables DNA repair analysis across multiple species.

The paper presents haplotype-phased, chromosome-scale genomes of Puccinia hordei isolates, revealing repeat expansion, somatic hybridization, and genome plasticity.

This paper develops a tissue culture-free genome editing system in plants using geminivirus vectors, achieving efficient Cas9, Cas12f, and Cas12j expression with reduced cargo size.

The paper maps a zfBED NLR gene essential for Pc94 resistance in oat, develops a diagnostic marker, and identifies diverse introgression sizes in oat cultivars.

This study identifies the oat crown rust pathogen in Taiwan as Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae through molecular and phenotypic analysis of field samples collected between 2019 and 2021.

This study constructs a high-resolution haplotype pangenome of oat crown rust, revealing somatic hybridization, recombination, and intercontinental migration as drivers of genetic diversity.

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 sequences 4.3 million promoter mutations and 4.7 million coding mutations in wheat to understand gene function and improve agronomic traits.

This study presents haplotype-phased genome assemblies of two dikaryotic Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae isolates, revealing structural variation and heterozygous SNPs, and identifies co-expressed effector candidates associated with virulence differences.
