The barley MLA13-AVRA13 heterodimer reveals principles for immunoreceptor recognition of RNase-like powdery mildew effectors

The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of the MLA13-AVRA13-1 heterodimer and shows how a single amino acid substitution in MLA7 expands effector recognition.

Avirulence depletion assay: combining R gene-mediated selection with bulk sequencing for rapid avirulence gene identification in wheat powdery mildew

Interactions of sequence diverse effector proteins of wheat powdery mildew control recognition specificity by the corresponding immune receptor

The paper investigates how sequence-diverse effector proteins of wheat powdery mildew are recognized by immune receptors, revealing structural and functional mechanisms of recognition specificity.

Dual single-nucleus gene expression atlas of grapevine and Erysiphe necator during early powdery mildew infection

This study uses dual-organism single-nucleus transcriptomics to analyze grapevine and Erysiphe necator gene expression during early powdery mildew infection, identifying cell type markers and immune response patterns.

Altered host pyruvate metabolism fuels and regulates fungal asexual reproduction

The paper shows that PM-induced changes in host pyruvate metabolism bypass the PDHc to support lipid production for fungal reproduction.

WRKY1 confers resistance to powdery mildew by accelerating SAR and preventing over-immunity in apple.

This study identifies WRKY1's role in enhancing apple resistance to powdery mildew by promoting SAR and preventing over-immunity through interactions with WRKY40 and NPR3like.

Genome-wide characterization of MLO family in bread wheat shed light on its role in resistance to powdery mildew, biotic and abiotic stresses

This paper identifies 47 MLO genes in bread wheat, analyzes their phylogeny and expression, and shows their potential roles in resistance to powdery mildew and abiotic stresses.

Transcriptome-based host epistasis and pathogen co-expression in barley-powdery mildew interactions

The paper analyzes transcriptome data from barley infected with powdery mildew to study host-pathogen interactions, identifying gene effects and co-expression patterns in the pathogen.

The grape powdery mildew resistance loci Ren2, Ren3, Ren4D, Ren4U, Run1, Run1.2b, Run2.1, and Run2.2 activate different transcriptional responses to Erysiphe necator

The paper compares transcriptional responses of eight grape resistance loci to powdery mildew, finding distinct gene expression patterns and limited overlap between loci.

Haplotype-resolved powdery mildew resistance loci reveal the impact of heterozygous structural variation on NLR genes in Muscadinia rotundifolia

The paper identifies and characterizes haplotype-resolved resistance loci in Muscadinia rotundifolia, revealing structural variations affecting NLR genes involved in powdery mildew resistance.

Host adaptation through hybridization: Genome analysis of triticale powdery mildew reveals unique combination of lineage-specific effectors

This study reports the reference genome of triticale powdery mildew, identifies lineage-specific effectors, and shows their role in host adaptation through hybridization.

Genomic Analysis of Powdery Mildew Resistance in a Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) Bi-parental Population Segregating for R6-locus

The paper re-evaluates powdery mildew resistance in hop using QTL analysis and RNAseq, identifying genomic regions and gene expression patterns associated with resistance to races v4/v6.

Gene erosion and genome expansion in a group of highly host-specialized fungal phytopathogens

This study analyzes the genome of a sexually reproducing powdery mildew fungus, revealing a smaller genome with fewer transposable elements and retained conserved genes compared to other powdery mildews.

Signatures of host specialization and a recent transposable element burst in the dynamic one-speed genome of the fungal barley powdery mildew pathogen

The paper analyzes the genome of Blumeria graminis forma specialis hordei to show retained synteny, copy number variation of secretion peptide genes, and recent transposable element expansion, suggesting a 'one-speed' genome structure.
