The paper aims to create annotated image datasets of fungal leaf spots on oilseed rape to aid in diagnosis and expert training.

The paper identifies AvrLm10A and AvrLm10B as part of a conserved multigene family in fungal pathogens, showing they cooperate with other effectors through co-regulation and physical interactions.

This study investigates the regulation of effector gene expression in Leptosphaeria maculans, showing that KMT1 and LmPf2 antagonistically control effector gene expression during infection.

This study compares culture-dependent and culture-independent methods for analyzing microbiota in crop residues, finding they provide complementary information about microbial diversity and function.

This paper uses large-scale transcriptomics to analyze the gene expression of Leptosphaeria maculans over two years of interaction with its host plant, identifying 9% of genes involved in infection stages and revealing their chromatin localization.

The paper identifies a new family of fungal effectors, LARS, that structurally resemble known avirulence effectors and can trigger or suppress plant resistance.

This study examines how a resistance gene affects the microbiome of plant residues and identifies microbial interactions with a fungal pathogen.

This study shows that crop residues in wheat-oilseed rape rotations act as a microbial ecosystem, with plant-specific microbes being replaced over time by soil-derived taxa, particularly faster in bacteria than fungi.
