The fungal kingdom comprises some of the most devastating plant pathogens. Sequencing
the genomes of fungal pathogens has shown a remarkable variability in genome size and …

Zymoseptoria tritici (previously Mycosphaerella graminicola) causes Septoria tritici blotch
(STB) on wheat. The population biology of Z. tritici has been exceptionally well characterized …

Zymoseptoria tritici is the causal agent of Septoria tritici blotch, a major pathogen of wheat
globally and the most damaging pathogen of wheat in Europe. A gene‐for‐gene (GFG) …

Transposable elements (TEs) are drivers of genome evolution and affect the expression
landscape of the host genome. Stress is a major factor inducing TE activity; however, the …

Abstract Knowledge of genetic determinism and evolutionary dynamics mediating host-
pathogen interactions is essential to manage fungal plant diseases. Studies on the genetic …

Plant disease poses a serious threat to global food security. Accurate, high-throughput
methods of quantifying disease are needed by breeders to better develop resistant plant …

Cultivar‐strain specificity in the wheat–Zymoseptoria tritici pathosystem determines the
infection outcome and is controlled by resistance genes on the host side, many of which …

Epidemics caused by fungal plant pathogens pose a major threat to agro-ecosystems and
impact global food security. High-throughput sequencing enabled major advances in …

Fungal pathogen genomes can often be divided into core and accessory regions. Accessory
regions ARs) may be comprised of either ARs (within core chromosomes (CCs) or wholly …

Great strides have been made in defining the details of the plant defense response involving
biotrophic fungal and bacterial pathogens. The groundwork for the current model was laid by …
