I’m very excited to share with all of you our up-to-date blue native-PAGE protocol to identify protein complexes in plant cells in protocols.io ! protocols.io/view/blue-nati…

I am *beyond thrilled* to have the work from my PhD finally out!! 💫 We found that MLA3, a plant immune receptor, mimics a virulence target of Magnaporthe oryzae to set a trap for this fungus and trigger disease resistance. How cool is that?! 🤓 🧵1/15 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are pleased to bring you the Cell paper of #FacesOfCell Dr. Neftaly Cruz Mireles (Neftaly Cruz Mireles), “The phosphorylation landscape of infection-related development by the rice blast fungus”. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Multiple horizontal mini-chromosome transfers drive genome evolution of clonal blast fungus lineages dlvr.it/TBbjlG

Hey #imc12, I am giving a talk this morning during the symposium chaired by Anna Rosling and Christian Wurzbacher. I will present my PhD work from Toby Spribille lab and talk about lichen metagenomics, and what you can and cannot say based on it 12th International Mycological Congress (IMC12)

Hi again #IMC12! This afternoon I'm giving a talk in the session chaired by François Lutzoni and Betsy Arnold. I will present our new results with Nick Talbot on lichen transcriptomics, architecture development in lichens, and our quest to find lichen effectors 12th International Mycological Congress (IMC12)

Standing room only for Gulnara Tagirdzhanova at #IMC12 talking about the recoverable organismal content of publicly available lichen metagenomes. Take home: sequencing depth matters (a lot) and metagenomes cannot be used to assess absence, but are still very data-rich

New #preprint alert! #Lichen symbiosis is a great conundrum: how can multiple microbes create a large, 3D, and structurally complex organism? To answer this question, we used metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and a bit of protein structure modeling 🧵1/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to see our peer-reviewed work on recurrent horizontal mini-chromosome transfer in the blast fungus now out! ✨ academic.oup.com/mbe/advance-ar… Thanks team 🌈 Sergio Latorre Thorsten Langner Sophien Kamoun Hernán A. Burbano Yu Sugihara Joe Win Adeline Harant Angus Malmgren

We are pleased to share our latest paper! We looked at the transcriptomic landscape of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), the citrus HLB pathogen, in seed coat vasculatures.🧵 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… Dr. Wenbo Ma

Ángel Vergara Cruces kicking off NoCaSS 2024... Here we go! #NoCaSS2024

The PH Gregory talks will start with Molly Mae, Elin Falla, and Berlaine Quime!

Iris Eisermann presenting her beautiful and HUGE high-throughput septin interactome study in the blast fungus at the Conference of Molecular Biology of Fungi in Kiel! 😎👍

Our very own Marisela Garduño-Rosales presenting her new findings and really cool microscopy 🔬about eisosomes in Magnaporthe oryzae Nick Talbot at Molecular Biology of Fungi in Kiel

We found a way to implant bacteria 🦠 in fungi 🍄and used it to induce artificial endosymbiosis. Read all about it in our newest research paper nature . nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congratulations Diana Gómez De La Cruz and Mauricio Contreras - winners of the John Innes Foundation Prize for Excellence in Scientific Research for their PhD projects The Sainsbury Laboratory

📣PRESS RELEASE: We are delighted to announce our new partnership with the Khalifa Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology KCGEB By uniting our expertise we aim to advance climate-resilient plant immunity research 🌍 tsl.ac.uk/news/new-partn…

So happy to see the final version of our paper on the structure of the sensor-activated NRC2 hexamer online! Congrats to Jogi Madhuprakash and the whole team 👏 Check out Madhu's and AmirAli Toghani's threads below for the key highlights 👇🧵 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Here is something to distract you from the gloom: What can metagenomics tell us about the taxonomic composition of lichen symbioses? A peer-reviewed version of our analysis of >400 lichen metagenomes from around the world is now out in PLOS Biology. 1/12 doi.org/10.1371/journa…
