The paper uses population-genomic analyses of wheat stripe rust fungus isolates to identify two ancient nuclear lineages and their role in the pathogen's global success.

The paper surveys wheat pathogen diversity in Sweden to improve disease diagnostics and management by identifying pathogenic and non-pathogenic taxa and potential biological control agents.

This paper presents an experimental approach to study multi-species interactions in the Fusarium-Head Blight complex in wheat, showing that Zymoseptoria tritici affects wheat's response to F. graminearum and that Fusarium species composition influences disease outcomes in a genotype-specific manner.
