The genome of the wheat-pathogenic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici represents extensive
presence-absence variation in gene content. Here, we addressed variation in biosynthetic …

Background Fungal pathogens of plants produce diverse repertoires of secondary
metabolites, which have functions ranging from iron acquisition, defense against immune …

The hemibiotrophic fungus Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria tritici blotch disease of wheat
(Triticum aestivum). Pathogen reproduction on wheat occurs without cell penetration …

Background Fungi produce a wide range of specialized metabolites (SMs) involved in biotic
interactions. Pathways for the production of SMs are often encoded in clusters of tightly …

Zymoseptoria tritici causes Septoria tritici blotch disease of wheat. To obtain a
comprehensive protein dataset of this fungal pathogen, proteomes of Z. tritici growing in …

The fungus Zymoseptoria tritici is one of the most devastating pathogens of wheat. Aside
from its importance as a disease‐causing agent, this species has emerged as a powerful …

Zymoseptoria tritici is an important fungal pathogen on wheat that originated in the Fertile
Crescent. Its closely related sister species Z. pseudotritici and Z. ardabiliae infect wild …

Background Studying genomic variation in rapidly evolving pathogens potentially enables
identification of genes supporting their “core biology”, being present, functional and …

Yield losses caused by fungal pathogens represent a major threat to global food production.
One of the most devastating fungal wheat pathogens is Zymoseptoria tritici. Despite the …

During infection, pathogens secrete effectors, key elements of pathogenesis. In several
phytopathogenic fungi, synchronous waves of effector genes are expressed during plant …
