LaySunMa （馬麗珊） and I are editing the 2025 special issue on Biotic Interactions of Current Opinion in Plant Biology. We highlight research on both the plant and pathogen sides and focus on the apoplast. Have a look! sciencedirect.com/special-issue/…

We are happy to share our recent preprint on (first ever CRISPR paper in my life😅): "CRISPR/dCas-mediated counter-silencing – Reprogramming dCas proteins into antagonists of xenogeneic silencers" #CRISPRcosi 🧵(1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Forschungszentrum Jülich | @[email protected], Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, MibiNet

Just out 📣 It is my pleasure to share our latest review on #effector #proteases from plant pathogens by Jessica Lee Erickson and yours truly : sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

NEW REVIEW OUT Fungal pathogens (in fact, not only fungi and not only pathogens!) manipulate the microbiota of their plant hosts during infection. We reviewed the processes involved, focusing on effector proteins with selective antimicrobial activities. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Interested in plant cell death? Great - we have a PhD position for you, available from January 2025 : jobportal.uni-koeln.de/ausschreibung/…

Very excited to share that we will be supported to study the integration of novel traits into regulatory networks for the next 5 years. #ERCStG

Some news 🎉 Elated to share that our work will soon be supported by an European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant! There will be openings to join the lab, so if you are keen to learn how plant pathogens double as insect mutualists, do reach out! Amsterdam Institute for Life and Environment Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam VU Faculteit der Bètawetenschappen #ERCStG

🎉Two scientists from #UniCologne have been awarded the prestigious ERC Starting Grant. Congratulations to Prof Dr Christopher Roth from WiSoFakultät_UniKöln and Prof Dr Markus Stetter CEPLAS🥳 More about the #ERCStG projects👇 uni.koeln/LWZKV

I feel excited and honoured that European Research Council (ERC) selected my project for funding! 🎉 With our #ERCStG "FRIENEMIES" we will investigate the #evolution of plant-fungus interactions from pathogenic to beneficial in land plants ZMBP Universität Tübingen #EvoMPMI #PlantSci

Very proud of Daniel Moser, Maurice König, Philipp and Laura Merx presenting at #PP2024 their cool work. The Terrestrial Microbiology Lab Gunther Doehlemann at its best! 🥂

Hidden arms races within microbiota during host-pathogen co-evolution sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

With AlphaProteo you can now design novel proteins with higher affinity to target molecules:

This nice collaborative effort shows that the Arabidopsis LORE PPR receptor, when activated in tomatoes can confer resistance to bacteria, fungi and oomyctes. bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Interested in root nodule symbiosis signalling? Postdoctoral research position available to join us; Application deadline October 1st. jobs.jic.ac.uk/Details.asp?va…

Pleased to part of this landmark study of the importance of beta1,6 glucan in the fungal cell wall in eLife - the journal. Great PhD work of Clara BEKIRIAN INSTITUT PASTEUR in Thierry Fontaine’s gp. MRC Centre for Medical Mycology ECMM ISHAM

Meddling with the microbiota: Fungal tricks to infect plant hosts Curr Opin Plant Biol by Fantin Mesny et al from Team Thomma @teamthomma.bsky.social sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

As the dominant herbivores in the neotropics, the leafcutter ants cultivate a fungus to break down the plant biomass We knew this symbiosis was composed of several players, pathogenic fungi, beneficial bacteria, etc But now we add mycoviruses to this list rdcu.be/dS1cC
