This study shows that polytunnel covering reduces Pseudomonas syringae dispersal and alters phyllosphere communities, while nitrogen fertigation improves plant growth and reduces disease severity in cherry orchards.

This study compares the genome and transcriptome of two races of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, identifying differences in effector genes and expression patterns between them.

This study investigates the tissue-specific roles of type III effectors and phytotoxins in Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae pathogenicity to cherry, finding that toxins are critical for fruit infection while effector redundancy complicates disease progression.
