This study consolidates species boundaries in the Fusarium oxysporum species complex using genomic data, revealing redundant species and two novel lineages.

This study identifies soil microbiological and physicochemical factors influencing Striga seed bank and sorghum infestation in Ethiopian soils.

The paper identifies a fungal gene encoding a β-1,3-glucanase as a key genetic factor driving multi-host infection in Plectosphaerella cucumerina.

This study presents chromosome-level genome assemblies of Diplodia sapinea, identifying two accessory chromosomes that show rapid evolution and potential horizontal transfer.

This study shows that the soil microbiome affects Striga infection and sorghum performance, with Striga seeds influencing the sorghum rhizosphere microbiome.

This study compares the genomes of pathogenic and endophytic Phyllosticta species colonizing citrus to determine the lifestyle of Phyllosticta citrichinaensis, finding it to be intermediate between the two.

The paper identifies novel biosynthetic gene clusters in Dothideomycetes fungi and shows their diversity scales with repertoire size, suggesting limited structural redundancy in secondary metabolites.
