Recombination has an impact on genome evolution by maintaining chromosomal integrity,
affecting the efficacy of selection, and increasing genetic variability in populations. …

Melanin plays an important role in virulence and antimicrobial resistance in several fungal
pathogens. The wheat pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici is important worldwide, but little is known …

We conducted a comprehensive analysis of virulence in the fungal wheat pathogen
Zymoseptoria tritici using quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping. High‐throughput phenotyping …

Different thermal environments impose strong, differential selection on populations, leading
to local adaptation, but the genetic basis of thermal adaptation is poorly understood. We …

A major problem associated with the intensification of agriculture is the emergence of fungicide
resistance. Azoles are ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors that have been widely used in …

It was investigated whether Escherichia coli cultured in a glucose-limited chemostat is able
to grow with a series of sugars whose utilization is normally repressed during batch growth …

The structure of stacking faults formed in forward-biased 4H-and 6H-SiC p–n diodes was
determined using conventional and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Typical …

The generation and evolution of defects in 4H–SiC pn junctions due to carrier injection
under forward bias have been investigated by synchrotron white beam x-ray topography, …
