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.

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

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.
