Finally able to capture effector genes in the glands of all stages of Litylenchus crenatae, the beech leaf disease nematode! This nematode is pretty cool ;) #BLD #beechforestneedshelp

!!!Preprint alert with Beth Molloy !!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… The origin, deployment, and evolution of a plant-parasitic nematode effectorome. Includes the effector network, which we think is both beautiful and useful 😍 @plantsci Crop Science Centre bioRxiv

!!! preprint alert !!! The SUbventral-Gland master Regulator (SUGR) of nematode virulence is central to a feed forward loop for host entry. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Congratulations to first authors Clément Pellegrin and Anika Damm (and welcome to twitter Anika!) and the whole team
