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 identifies horizontal gene transfers from Fusarium oxysporum to Fusarium xylarioides as a mechanism driving the repeated outbreaks of coffee wilt disease.

This study uses historical genome sequencing to show how two populations of Fusarium xylarioides evolved similar pathogenic traits through horizontal gene transfer from other Fusarium species.
