Accessory regions and horizontal gene transfer shape the evolution of clonal Colletotrichum nymphaeae infecting strawberry

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity of strawberry‐infecting Colletotrichum isolates. Summary Rapid adaptation in fungal plant pathogens is often attributed to sexual recombination, yet many important pathogens are largely clonal. We investigated how genetic and phenotypic diversity arises in the predominantly asexual fungus Colletotrichum nymphaeae, the main cause of ...

First Tetraploa Genome and Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveal Key Plant‐Microbe‐Soil Interactions for Salt Tolerance and Yield Improvement of Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salinity is a major threat to global agricultural productivity of staple crops such as wheat. Although microbial‐based solutions hold promise for alleviating salinity stress, practical implementation is hindered by insufficient mechanistic characterization of bioinoculants and their interactions with plants.

Diurnal Variations in Photochemical Energy Utilization and Osmotic Adjustments in Black Poplar Leaves Under Progressive Water Stress

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought limits the productivity of fast‐growing woody crops, although the metabolic adjustments conferring water stress tolerance remain poorly understood. We investigated the responses of Populus nigra seedlings to water stress by integrating daily physiological measurements and NMR metabolomic analyses.

‘Who is the Gael who Would Not Weep?’: The Book of the O’Conor Don, Fearghal Óg Mac an Bhaird, and Late Bardic Poetry of Exile

I argue that poetry of lament, blessing and devotion articulates a broader literary consciousness that anticipates modern notions of a national consciousness. The compilation of bardic verse in manuscript

Artifex Ars Cartographica: Collaboration Between Portuguese Painters and Cartographers in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, there was no statutory difference between cartography, drawing and painting. These activities were performed then by craftsmen who were part of a vast group under the umbrella of ‘mechanical arts’ and fell under the ‘artifex’ category. Artifex were experts in any particular art, whether a craftsman,
