So pretty! Great job!

It's National #NematodeDay! Thanks to everyone that participated in quizzes during September to learn if you are smarter than a nematode. Watch the videos from SCN Coalition experts for the answers: thescncoalition.com/nematodeday/

!!!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

Check out this fascinating report on the SUGR master regulator in cyst nematode from the Sebastian Eves-van den Akker group! Glad to be able to contribute a small part to this developing story!

A great collaborative effort between @RogerInnes1 lab and BaumLab and outstanding work by first author Alexandra Margets!

When scouting for #SCN females, experts say #soybean #farmers should look where the pest could be introduced: field entryways, fence lines, where windblown soil accumulates, and areas with unexplained #yield loss, high pH or flooding. Learn more: bit.ly/4cBg2ck.

.Beth Molloy's 1st paper now in PLOS Pathogens A predicted parasitic nematode effector set is: 1. Big, several hundred genes 2. Diverse, 391 families - some big, most very small 3. Tightly co-regulated 4. Approx. 50% conserved in last parasitic ancestor journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

Glad to share an article: generating PBS-1 based decoy substrate for SCN effector protease!!! apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/abs/10.109…

👏👏👏Congratulations to Sebastian Eves-van den Akker for being appointed Professor of Biotic Interactions, effective from 1 October. Sebastian is Head of the Plant-Parasite Interactions group here at the CSC. cropsciencecentre.org/news/sebastian…

🚨 Editor’s Pick Alert - Margets et al uncover a key soybean cyst nematode effector, Cysteine Protease 1 (CPR1), which inhibits plant immunity and targets a mitochondrial enzyme in soybean roots. This joint effort opens the door to engineering decoy substrates to boost plant

Proud of our collaborative work between the @RogerInnes1 and BaumLab labs. Take a look!

Thursday the 20th of February (15:00-16:15 CET) we'll organize the 2nd edition of our "Trends in Nematology" webinar series! As always, the webinar is free to attend. The theme of this edition will be "Advances in Bio-informatics". More info will follow very soon!

[Just Published in Sci. Data] Finally, a reliable long read genome for the quarantine pest Meloidogyne eenterolobii, with all raw and processed data publicly available ! Please use and share it 😉 nature.com/articles/s4159…

Presenting Nemacounter: a new user-friendly tool for nematologists to aid in phenotypic assessment. Check out the Open Access publication in #ScientificReports, from lead author Joffrey Mejias and the Baum lab. rdcu.be/d8OgH

Very excited to see my first first author paper published in PNASNews . We found the first effector regulator in plant-parasitic nematodes! Congratulations to all authors and co first author Clément Pellegrin. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Congratulations Anika and Clem, fantastic work! Happy to be a small part of this important story!
