Extensive intrachromosomal duplications in a virulence-associated fungal accessory chromosome

Jelmer Dijkstra, Anouk C. van Westerhoven, Lucía Gómez-Gil…·Gert H. J. Kema

The paper identifies extensive intrachromosomal duplications in the accessory chromosome of TR4, showing its role in virulence and chromosome dynamics in F. oxysporum.

Transposon activity eliminates a crucial fungal secondary metabolite cluster while preserving pathogenicity

Jelmer Dijkstra, Anouk C. van Westerhoven, Yinping Li…·Gert H. J. Kema

The paper shows that transposon activity in TR4 fungi deletes a secondary metabolite cluster, reducing fusaric acid production without affecting pathogenicity.

Frequent genetic exchanges revealed by a pan-mitogenome graph of a fungal plant pathogen

Anouk C. van Westerhoven, Jelmer Dijkstra, Jose L. Aznar Palop…·Michael F. Seidl

This paper constructs a pan-mitogenome graph of nearly 500 Fusarium oxysporum mitogenomes to reveal frequent recombination and genetic variation, challenging the assumption of clonal reproduction.
