This study uses time-resolved transcriptome analysis to explore how Plasmodiophora brassicae affects Arabidopsis thaliana during the night at intermediate and late infection stages, identifying nocturnal disruptions in gene expression and circadian rhythms.

The paper shows that Phytomyxea parasites induce endoreduplication in diverse hosts, suggesting this is a conserved strategy in biotrophic interactions.
