An experimental approach to study multi-species interactions implicated in Fusarium-Head Blight complex assembly in wheat.

This paper presents an experimental approach to study multi-species interactions in the Fusarium-Head Blight complex in wheat, showing that Zymoseptoria tritici affects wheat's response to F. graminearum and that Fusarium species composition influences disease outcomes in a genotype-specific manner.

Diagnostic of head blight and leaf blotch diseases of wheat in Sweden using a mycobiome isolation approach

The paper surveys wheat pathogen diversity in Sweden to improve disease diagnostics and management by identifying pathogenic and non-pathogenic taxa and potential biological control agents.

Standing genetic variation of the AvrPm17 avirulence gene in powdery mildew limits the effectiveness of an introgressed rye resistance gene in wheat

The paper identifies AvrPm17, a fungal avirulence gene that pre-existed in powdery mildew populations and contributed to the rapid breakdown of the introgressed wheat resistance gene Pm17.
