Immune signaling: receptor-like proteins make the difference dlvr.it/T5FZgr

I’m seeing some “free market” simps defending Nature’s 12k open access fees. Guess it’s time to bring this back around.

Dive into our newest blog post unveiling an ingenious experimental approach to estimate frequencies of virulent pathogenic strains in plants. Say goodbye to conventional strain-by-strain methods? 🌿 Read more:buff.ly/3xHdRVt Frédéric Suffert @INRAE_Bioger INRAE Santé des Plantes et Environnement

I am glad I had the chance to talk about the Egyptian wheat project, probably for the last time, at the BGRS symposium UoB Biosciences 🌾

Great talk by Graeme Kettles about the role of fungal effectors during the interactions between wheat and Zymoseptoria tritici #ISCLB2024

Fascinating talk by Megan McDonald about Sanctuary: A starship transposon facilitating the movement of the virulence factor ToxA in fungal wheat pathogen #ISCLB2024

I am so glad to have the chance to present my work this morning at #ISCLB2024

Super excited and honored to be on this list! Of course not possible without my amazing College of Life and Environmental Sciences UoB Biosciences colleagues. This funding enables me to further explore the ever evolving story of ToxAs journey through different fungi within Starship transposons! #UKRIFLF

Honoured to have my photo featured on the cover of the LES Bulletin for July! 😎College of Life and Environmental Sciences

It was a great experience visiting RHS Wisley and learning from the teams there about their work.

Congratulations to @zymohyda on the first 1st author paper from his PhD. Just out in MPMI Journal ZymoSoups: A high-throughput forward genetics method for rapid identification of virulence genes in Zymoseptoria tr… pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39331489/

What a brave dog! 😲 I'm glad the dog made it back to the ground safely after climbing the Great Pyramid.

International PhD Studentship available for PhD2025/2026! If you are interested in investigating heterogeneity of protein complexes, please consider applying for below! Deadline is 15th January, 2025. findaphd.com/phds/project/u…

🚨NEW PAPER ALERT! We demonstrate priming of defence in oak seedlings with different elicitors. BABA is the most effective, could we use this approach in tree nurseries to protect young oaks from powdery mildew? onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc… congratulations to all authors! 🌳BIFoR

Wheat Pathogens webinar, March 20th! Dr. Daniel Croll, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, will talk about “Understanding mechanisms of crop pathogen emergence using large genome panels”. Please share! buff.ly/45ttOjL KC 👨‍🔬🌾🍄🇦🇺 Reem Aboukhaddour

Wishing Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating today—may it be a joyful and peaceful time.

What does this look like to you? This is #Phytophthora palmivora (magenta) infecting roots of barley seedlings. All roots are attacked. In the magnification you see small spores attaching along roots. But new sporangia are mostly emerging at the root tips. Image: Matthew Macleod

New Article: "A conserved Phytophthora apoplastic trypsin-like serine protease targets the receptor-like kinase BAK1 to dampen plant immunity" rdcu.be/eun3u Phytophthora secretes a protease that cleaves the extracellular domain of the co-receptor BAK1.
