The paper identifies a new accessory chromosome in Zymoseptoria tritici and shows it originated through interspecies hybridization with Zymoseptoria ardabiliae.

The paper identifies host-specific lineages of Zymoseptoria passerinii in wild and domesticated barley, showing divergence and sympatric emergence.

This study identifies evolutionary signatures of host specialization in Zymoseptoria tritici, showing distinct population structures and potential speciation driven by divergence between wild and domesticated host grasses.

The paper shows that loss of Dim2 DNA methyltransferase in Zymoseptoria tritici reduces mutation rates in repeats and alters evolutionary trajectory by affecting 5mC levels and transposable element dynamics.

The paper examines TE dynamics in Zymoseptoria species, finding recent insertions and varying Repeat-Induced Point mutation signatures across isolates.

The paper compares genome architecture across Zymoseptoria species, finding high conservation of compartmentalization despite genomic variability.

The paper investigates the role of H3K9me3 and H3K27me3 in genome stability in Zymoseptoria tritici, showing H3K9me3 maintains stability by preventing H3K27me3, while H3K27me3 promotes instability of accessory chromosomes.

The paper uses in planta ChIP-seq to show that heterochromatic genes in Zymoseptoria tritici are up-regulated during necrotrophy, suggesting histone modifications regulate effector gene expression.

This study examines how genetic diversity in Zymoseptoria tritici affects infection phenotypes, revealing significant gene expression variation and epigenetic regulation linked to transposable elements.
