Across 325 Darwin Tree of Life genomes, satellite-array and transposon-cluster centromeres are phylogenetically scattered, fitting a model of repeated interconversion; satellites share higher-order repeat structure but not sequence.

The paper identifies AvrWTK4, a pathogen effector recognised by the wheat tandem kinase receptor WTK4, and shows its interaction with the HMA-like domain of WTK4.

The paper identifies how two wheat resistance alleles, Pm3d and Pm3e, recognize structurally diverse mildew effectors to confer broad-spectrum resistance.

This study identifies Lr14a as a calcium-permeable channel in wheat that mediates cytoplasmic calcium influx, essential for stomatal immunity against leaf rust.

This study presents a reference metagenome of the lichen Cladonia rangiformis, revealing its complex microbiome and genomic features of its fungal and algal partners.

The paper uses k-mer-based GWAS on a wheat collection to identify novel powdery mildew resistance loci, finding 27 new loci and a region for adult plant resistance.

The paper compares centromere composition and architecture across oat species and their relatives, finding rapid evolution and distinct retrotransposon dynamics.

The paper investigates how sequence-diverse effector proteins of wheat powdery mildew are recognized by immune receptors, revealing structural and functional mechanisms of recognition specificity.

The paper analyzes wheat germplasm to identify introgression segments and provides evidence for inter-homoeolog chromosomal recombination.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale rye genome assembly to study genomic evolution and agronomic traits in Triticeae crops.
