What do fungal diseases and snakes have in common? They attack in similar ways! Our researchers have modeled the 3D structures of fungal effector proteins and found some are similar to animal venom and plant defensins. buff.ly/3LK4Dgj | buff.ly/42JucnA James Hane

Today we had the pleasure of hosting the board members from GRDC Grain Producers Australia and GrainGrowers for a visit. We showcased our state-of-the-art facilities and introduced them to our dedicated staff, who are working tirelessly to mitigate the impact of crop diseases

Our PhD students Mohitul Hossain and Naomi Gray have been busy getting involved at #PAGAustralia the last few days! Check out their posters all about their work on pan-genome and fungicide resistance allele profiling and pan-genomes of crop pathogens. #PAG23 PAG-International Plant & Animal Genome Conference

Well done to CCDM Advanced Bioinformatics Approaches students Mohitul Hossain Naomi Gray and Pavel Misiun who presented posters at #PAGAustralia this week!

Well done to CCDM Advanced Bioinformatics Approaches PhD students Naomi Gray and Mohitul Hossain, presenting posters on pangenomics and effector discovery for plant-pathogenic fungi today at #IWC2024Perth

A pangenome of 173 isolates of Parastagonospora nodorum, a necrotrophic fungal pathogen of wheat, showed widespread potential for RIP-like SNPs across the genome, balanced by negative selection against non-synonymous changes in protein-coding regions. nature.com/articles/s4200…

Our latest paper shows RIP is a strong driver of genomic diversity in fungal pathogens, yet few mutations end up influencing protein diversity. Nevertheless, their potential to rapidly adapt to changing conditions is only ever one generation away. nature.com/articles/s4200…

🌾Pathogens are constantly evolving to outsmart crops! Our team analyzed 173 isolates of Stagonospora nodorum blotch fungus🧬They found it uses mutations like RIP to diversify—while harmful mutations are filtered out🦠 📰 buff.ly/4jXm63B GRDC Curtin University James Hane

Congratulations to CCDM PhD student Mohitul Hossain , who gave an excellent presentation today in the New Researcher Session at #GRDCUpdates, on our new methods for phenotype-associated effector prediction and pangenome-based effector and fungicide-resistance screening.
