TL;DR: The first attempts to study the whole transcriptome began in the early 1990s, and technological advances since the late 1990s have made transcriptomics a widespread discipline as mentioned in this paper, which has enabled the study of how gene expression changes in different organisms and has been instrumental in the understanding of human disease.

TL;DR: Statistical analysis shows that transcripts encoding proteins involved in protein synthesis and in the production of extracellular proteases, cellulases, and xylanases predominate in the infection library, suggesting that the fungus is dependant on the degradation of wheat macromolecular constituents to provide the carbon skeletons and energy for the synthesis of proteins and other components destined for the developing pycnidiospores.

TL;DR: Invasion of L. maculans ‘brassicae’ genome by TEs followed by bursts of TE activity allowed this species to evolve and to better adapt to its host, making this genome species a peculiarity within its own species complex as well as in the Pleosporales lineage.

TL;DR: This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of taxonomy, control and pathogenicity of this species, causing both a leaf and glume blotch of wheat.

TL;DR: This gene, termed AvrLmJ1, confers avirulence towards all three Brassica juncea cultivars tested, suggesting that the gene may confer species-specificAvirulence activity.
