The paper assesses Zymoseptoria tritici candidate effectors in Nicotiana benthamiana to identify immune recognition and potential host-independent activities, finding that expression timing and signal peptides influence effector phenotypes.

A GWAS of 337 US soft winter wheat genotypes identified 12 marker-trait associations for resistance to Zymoseptoria tritici, including both known and novel resistance genes.

The paper develops a CRISPR/Cas9 method for editing Zymoseptoria tritici and shows that Mycgr3107904 contributes to disease progression.

The paper identifies a major QTL cluster on maize chromosome 1 associated with tar spot resistance using recombinant-inbred lines and genetic analysis.

The paper investigates how tar spot disease severity in corn affects phyllosphere bacterial and fungal microbiomes, finding distinct communities in resistant versus susceptible lines.

This study develops a real-time PCR method to quantify Zymoseptoria tritici growth in wheat cultivars and shows it can distinguish resistant and susceptible lines starting at 12 days post-inoculation.

This study examines geographic variation in the fungal microbiome associated with tar spot of corn across three regions, finding inconsistent associations of fungal species with the disease.

The paper improves gene annotation of Zymoseptoria tritici by combining Iso-Seq and RNA-Seq data, resulting in more accurate gene models and new insights into its transcriptional landscape.

This study compares gene expression in Zymoseptoria tritici during susceptible, resistant, and non-host interactions to identify interaction-specific gene expression patterns and candidate effectors.

The paper uses comparative genomics to analyze Cryomyces antarcticus and other psychrophilic fungi to identify genetic features associated with extremophilic traits.

This study uses SSR markers to analyze genetic differentiation in Phyllachora maydis populations across the Midwest U.S., finding significant but low genetic differentiation and evidence of sexual recombination.

The paper analyzes a thousand-genome panel of Zymoseptoria tritici to trace its global spread and identify genetic changes associated with climatic adaptation.

The paper analyzes the evolution of amplified housekeeping genes in fungal genomes, showing variable outcomes due to transposon-mediated amplification and RIP effects.
