Contrasting transcriptional responses and genetic determinants underlie Zymoseptoria tritici adaptation mechanisms to simulated host-associated environments

Successful colonization of the wheat apoplast requires that Zymoseptoria tritici tolerate host-derived stresses, but the mechanisms underlying this adaptation remain poorly understood. Here, we combined phenotypic assays, transcriptomics, and genome-wide association analyses to characterize fungal responses t...
