Integrated Pangenomic and Systems Biology Analyses Reveal the Genomic Basis of Virulence and Adaptation in Bipolaris sorokiniana

Pangenome Analysis Uncovers Two Pathotypes of Dickeya dadantii, the Causal Agent of Sweetpotato Stem Rot, and Identifies Virulence-Associated Genes.

The first comprehensive pangenome of D. dadantii is constructed by integrating complete PacBio HiFi sequencing of a representative strain with resequencing of 32 Chinese isolates and 23 global strains, revealing that geographic isolation and host adaptation drive genetic differentiation.

Host-driven structuring shapes the landscape of phytoplasma diversity across Indian agroecosystems revealed by multilocus phylogenomics

COMPARATIVE GENOMIC ANALYSIS OF CORE AND ACCESSORY GENES IN RUST FUNGI REVEALS PATHOGENICITY-ASSOCIATED GENE FAMILIES IN Phakopsora pachyrhizi

This study highlights that core and accessory gene families have shaped P. pachyrhizi-soybean interactions, identifying promising targets for functional studies aimed at elucidating host-adaptation mechanisms in rust fungi.

Genomic, spatial, and evolutionary insights into a dominant Mycoplasmatota symbiont colonizing the body wall of deep-sea holothurians

This study provides genome- and spatially resolved views of dominant SCB in holothurians and offers evolutionary insights into host-interface diversification in the deep-sea holothurian body wall.

Lifestyle plasticity and the shared hypocrealean toolkit across Fusarium, Metarhizium, and Trichoderma

Collectively, FMT fungi illustrate how divergent ecological strategies can emerge through differential modification and regulatory deployment of a shared hypocrealean genomic toolkit.

Whole-genome assemblies and comparative genomics of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. capsici

The results suggest that pathogenic variation in Foc is unlikely to be explained by a single conserved virulence determinant or core-genome mutation alone, and contributes a valuable resource for future studies of pepper fusarium wilt.
