Endophytic fungi related to the ash dieback causal agent encode signatures of pathogenicity on European ash

The paper identifies pathogenic potential in Hymenoscyphus species related to the ash dieback pathogen, showing they can infect European ash trees.

Profile of the in silico secretome of the palm dieback pathogen, a fungus that puts natural oases at risk

The paper analyzes the in silico secretome of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis, identifying effector candidates and highlighting the need for further research on pathogen genetic diversity.

Fusarium graminearum DICER-like-dependent sRNAs are required for the suppression of host immune genes and full virulence

This study shows that Fusarium graminearum uses DCL-dependent sRNAs to suppress host immune genes, enhancing its virulence.

Host-induced gene silencing involves Arabidopsis ESCRT-III pathway for the transfer of dsRNA-derived siRNA

This study identifies the Arabidopsis ESCRT-III pathway as essential for transferring dsRNA-derived siRNAs between host and fungal cells during host-induced gene silencing.

Phloem-mediated spreading of SIGS-derived non-coding RNAs in Hordeum vulgare

This study investigates the phloem-mediated spread of SIGS-derived non-coding RNAs in barley, showing their systemic translocation and uptake by pathogens/pests.

Study on the efficacy of dsRNAs with increasing length in RNAi-based silencing of the Fusarium CYP51 genes

This study tests the effect of dsRNA length on RNAi-based silencing of Fusarium CYP51 genes in HIGS and SIGS approaches, finding no correlation in HIGS but a significant correlation in SIGS.
