Dhakal U, Yue W, Leslie J, Toomajian C
Fungal Genet Biol . 2024 Aug; 174:103924. PMID: 39094785
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major disease of wheat and barley worldwide and is caused by different species in the genus Fusarium, Fusarium graminearum being the most important. We...

Dhakal U, Kim H, Toomajian C
G3 (Bethesda) . 2024 Mar; 14(6). PMID: 38546739
Structural rearrangements, such as inversions, translocations, duplications, and large insertions and deletions, are large-scale genomic variants that can play an important role in shaping phenotypic variation and in genome adaptation...

Geiser D, Al-Hatmi A, Aoki T, Arie T, Balmas V, Barnes I, et al.
Phytopathology . 2020 Nov; 111(7):1064-1079. PMID: 33200960
Scientific communication is facilitated by a data-driven, scientifically sound taxonomy that considers the end-user's needs and established successful practice. In 2013, the community voiced near unanimous support for a concept...

Fumero M, Yue W, Chiotta M, Chulze S, Leslie J, Toomajian C
Phytopathology . 2020 Oct; 111(1):170-183. PMID: 33079019
and are two important fungal pathogens of maize whose distinctness as separate species has been difficult to assess. We isolated strains of these species from commercial and native maize varieties...

Fumero M, Villani A, Susca A, Haidukowski M, Cimmarusti M, Toomajian C, et al.
Appl Environ Microbiol . 2020 May; 86(13). PMID: 32358011
and are common maize pathogens that produce mycotoxins and cause plant disease. The ability of these species to produce beauvericin and fumonisin mycotoxins is not settled, as reports of toxin...

Lei L, Steffen J, Osborne E, Toomajian C
Sci Rep . 2017 Aug; 7(1):7567. PMID: 28790409
The evolution of phenotypes occurs through changes both in protein sequence and gene expression levels. Though much of plant morphological evolution can be explained by changes in gene expression, examining...

Liu S, Zheng J, Migeon P, Ren J, Hu Y, He C, et al.
Sci Rep . 2017 Feb; 7:42444. PMID: 28186206
The major component of complex genomes is repetitive elements, which remain recalcitrant to characterization. Using maize as a model system, we analyzed whole genome shotgun (WGS) sequences for the two...

Fransz P, Linc G, Lee C, Alves Aflitos S, Lasky J, Toomajian C, et al.
Plant J . 2016 Jul; 88(2):159-178. PMID: 27436134
Chromosomal inversions can provide windows onto the cytogenetic, molecular, evolutionary and demographic histories of a species. Here we investigate a paracentric 1.17-Mb inversion on chromosome 4 of Arabidopsis thaliana with...

Chiara M, Fanelli F, Mule G, Logrieco A, Pesole G, Leslie J, et al.
Genome Biol Evol . 2015 Oct; 7(11):3062-9. PMID: 26475319
Comparisons of draft genome sequences of three geographically distinct isolates of Fusarium fujikuroi with two recently published genome sequences from the same species suggest diverse profiles of secondary metabolite production...

Jordan K, Wang S, Lun Y, Gardiner L, MacLachlan R, Hucl P, et al.
Genome Biol . 2015 Apr; 16:48. PMID: 25886949
Background: Bread wheat is an allopolyploid species with a large, highly repetitive genome. To investigate the impact of selection on variants distributed among homoeologous wheat genomes and to build a...
