A wheat NLR conferring broad-spectrum resistance against powdery mildew by recognizing two structurally diverse AVR effectors. Interested? Check out our newest preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Want good Bioinformatics resources for Phytopathogens? Plant pathology community at @bspp.bsky.social and @britmycolsoc.org.uk please take the time to complete the Phytopathogen Genomics Resources Survey:- 🔗 zurl.co/gKjC1 Your input is important for FungiDB/@veupathdb.org & Ensembl @ebi.embl.org.

Our Mini-review is out now! Here we collect recent findings of RALF peptide functions, adress their (potential) roles in plant-microbe interactions and discuss the resulting emerging questions. Pls share! dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

Super excited to see our work on the NLRseek program finally published 🥳 Here we identify new NLRs against major wheat pathogens and present a pipeline for NLR identification. Huge thank you to all of the co-authors for bringing this work together! @matthewmoscou.bsky.social rdcu.be/eIGvv

Checkout Alexander’s thread describing his exciting new paper that demonstrates the combination of machine learning with large directed evolution data sets to accurately predict phenotype from genotype. Congratulations to Alexander on leading this work. We are lucky to have him on the team.

Wonderful retrospective on pathogen genomics by @wagnercfagundes.bsky.social, @thorstenlangner.bsky.social et al.! Fantastic write-up and beautiful illustrations!

To all colleagues who share an interest in sphingolipids, endomembrane trafficking & membrane domain formation, pathogen-induced cell polarization and entry control, here is another potentially interesting preprint: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Obligate biotrophic fungi cause some of the most devastating diseases on cereals. They are also highly difficult to study…. It is truely remarkable how well described the barley and what powdery mildews are. Here you find an overview on the current knowledge and summary of great resources. Enjoy!
