🔗 Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵 New insights into plant immunity: using ferns to understand evolution! 🌱✨🌿 Excited to share my first (but not last!) published research LRSV. A THREAD … [1/9]

Please RT! Join us at GMI Vienna gmivienna.bsky.social Austrian Academy of Sciences as a permanent and senior group leader! I am especially reaching out to all the incredible women who have made their mark in the field of plant biology, are outstanding community members and care about mentoring their junior colleagues. 1/4

First pre-print from our group National Centre for Biological Sciences, jointly led by Vidha Srivastava siddharthkls is online today. We report on how fungal pathogen adapts to evolutionarily divergent plant lineages and provide insights on fungal adaptation. Link 👇 #EvoMPMI #fungalpathogens 🍄🌱💚

Deadline for this position is coming up (2 April). Consider applying if you are interested.
