The paper identifies susceptibility genes for septoria nodorum blotch in U.S. hard winter wheat using genetic markers and association studies.

The paper shows that chromosomal rearrangements and sequence similarity drive preferential introgression of genes from a wild wheat relative into wheat via ph1b-mediated recombination.

This paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of Aegilops caudata and identifies novel resistance genes for wheat pests and diseases through population genomic analysis.

This paper introduces a transformation-free confocal staining technique for visualizing plant-fungal interactions and uses machine learning to quantify fungal volume and nuclear breakdown.

This paper identifies and validates the Rpt5 gene in barley, which encodes a receptor-like protein providing broad resistance to net form net blotch caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres.

The paper identifies mutations in Snn1 genes that affect susceptibility to Septoria nodorum blotch and develops markers to eliminate these genes for improved wheat resistance.

This study analyzes 2,478 fungal genomes to compare adaptive evolution rates across 20 species, finding that high adaptation rates are not exclusive to pathogens.

The paper identifies avirulence/virulence loci on barley chromosome 6H using genetic mapping and genome-wide association studies in the Pyrenophora teres f. teres - barley interaction.

The paper compares five genomes of Pyrenophora teres f. teres to identify sub-telomeric regions as key drivers of virulence through comparative genomic analysis.
