From Nicotiana to apple: effector screening reveals new avenues for durable scab resistance https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.25.696553v1

🧬 New preprint on fungal effector 🍄🍎 We identify AvrRvi6, the first AVR from Venturia inaequalis. AvrRvi6 is a MAX effector with apoplastic activity, expanding the functional landscape of this major effector family. 📄 bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A great documentary with a touch of plant science in it! youtu.be/CxVXvFOPIyQ?...

I am looking for a (bio)chemist to join the lab and help us making affinity-based probes for proteases! The project is truly interdisciplinary with a strong computational chemistry component, peptide synthesis and plant biochemistry! Text me if interested and please spread the word!

Curious about AvrRvi6, the apoplastic MAX effector from Venturia inaequalis? Come check out my poster P-162 during Session 2 at #2025ISMPMI! Let’s talk effectors, immunity, and apple scab 🍏🍄 zenodo.org/records/1584...

New research led by Christiaan Schol showing that the Ecp5 effector of Fulvia fulva is Avr6! Congrats to all co-authors! 🍅

Nous avons publié une présentation de Venturia inaequalis, le champignon responsable de la tavelure du pommier, ainsi que de son impact sur la production de pommes. Découvrez les enjeux de cette maladie et les défis qu'elle pose pour la filière arboricole ! 🍏🌿 theconversation.com/la-pomme-rei...

Last week to apply to join our team in Angers as a PhD student with @fly-florian.bsky.social

🎧 À écouter : l'émission "Grand Format" de @franceinter.fr sur l’avenir des pommes sans pesticides 🍏, avec l'intervention d'Arnaud Lemarquand, directeur de l'unité Horti, et de François Laurens, chercheur dans l'équipe VALEMA 🎤 www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/...

Today we celebrate a wide diversity in plant sciences at the Symposium of our institute at @unicologne.bsky.social with support from @ceplas.bsky.social & @trr341.bsky.social #PlantScience

Ravis de pouvoir échanger avec le public lors de Made in Angers ✨ 🔬 🌱 www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Big thanks to the Swingle Lab for putting together this great story using the RB-TnSeq library we generated during my postdoc at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social
