Population structure of the rice blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae in the context of elevated host heterogeneity

This study analyzes P. oryzae genomes from the Yuanyang Terraces to show increased genomic diversity and lineage complexity compared to global populations, suggesting long-term crop diversity drives pathogen adaptation.

Deep population structure linked to host vernalization requirement in the barley net blotch fungal pathogen

This study examines the population structure of the barley pathogen Pyrenophora teres, finding that vernalization requirements of barley varieties influence pathogen population differentiation globally.

Holistic integration of omics data reveals the drivers that shape the ecology of microbial meat spoilage scenarios

This study integrates multi-omic data from meat production to identify key factors shaping microbial spoilage scenarios in poultry and pork sausages.

Stepwise recombination suppression around the mating-type locus in the fungus Schizothecium tetrasporum (Ascomycota, Sordariales)

This paper shows that recombination is suppressed around the mating-type locus in Schizothecium tetrasporum, a fungus in the Sordariales order, leading to self-fertile dikaryotic spores through stepwise recombination suppression.

Combination of high pressure treatment at 500 MPa and biopreservation with a Lactococcus lactis strain for lowering the bacterial growth during storage of diced cooked ham with reduced nitrite salt

This study combines high pressure treatment and biopreservation with a Lactococcus lactis strain to reduce bacterial growth in diced cooked ham with reduced nitrite salt, showing effectiveness against Proteobacteria but variability based on initial microbiota.
