The evolution of azole resistance through a reduced spore dormancy pathway associated with loss of SUMOylation function in <i>Fusarium graminearum</i>
gene, which caused phenotypes of altered macroconidium dormancy and reduced fungicide sensitivity. This research highlights the importance of experimental approaches that remain open to surprising evolutionary innovations and unexpected resistance mechanisms.
