This study identifies Starship transposons as abundant and virulence-associated elements in Verticillium dahliae, showing their role in horizontal gene transfer and virulence evolution.

This study demonstrates multiplex gene editing in Phytophthora palmivora using LbCas12 and 2-fluoroadenine counter-selection, enabling efficient knockout of two APT genes without affecting virulence.

This study identifies and characterizes centromeres in ten Verticillium species, revealing conserved and variable features linked to repetitive elements and genome evolution.

This study examines the mosaic genome structure of the hybrid fungal plant pathogen Verticillium longisporum and its evolutionary implications.
