The paper presents fifteen near T2T assemblies of Brazilian Fusarium graminearum isolates, revealing structural conservation and a core genome with implications for phenotypic variance.

This paper reviews the impact of long-read sequencing on fungal genome assemblies, highlighting progress, disparities, and remaining taxonomic gaps.

This study identifies FgKnr4 as a conserved fungal protein critical for cell wall integrity and pathogenicity, validated through network analysis and functional studies in Fusarium graminearum and Zymoseptoria tritici.

This study identifies FgTPP1, a protease from Fusarium graminearum, as a virulence factor that suppresses immune responses and contributes to Fusarium Head Blight disease in wheat.

This study shows that deoxynivalenol (DON) aids Fusarium graminearum in colonizing wheat tissue by facilitating cell wall traversal through plasmodesmata, without affecting cell wall thickness.

The paper identifies a conserved intergenic region in Fusarium graminearum suitable for targeted integration, develops a cloning system, and validates its utility for gene studies and protein secretion analysis.
