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…

Our latest publication on a set of GATEWAY vectors to accelerate gene function analysis in soybean composite plants to rapidly screen transgenic roots and investigate subcellular localization, protein–protein interactions, and root-pathogen interactions. rdcu.be/ec0c2

We are delighted to announce our upcoming seminar: "Nematode-Microbe Interactions" by Dr Olivera Topalović and PhD student Sandra Bredenbruch 🔬 Don’t miss it—register now!

BSPP-funded summer studentship available in the lab. See the link for more details: bspp.org.uk/mechanisms-und… The start date can be flexible to suit the student. Closing date for applications 14th April.

New study shows how disrupting plant-nematode communication could limit cyst nematode infections. The work from Cambridge University, Iowa State University, John Innes Centre & Dept. of Agriculture opens promising new routes to nematode control for crop protection & food security. 👉 tinyurl.com/222h572b

New paper alert! We just published a chromosome-scale genome (57 Mb, 16 chromosomes) of Meloidogyne hapla. A devastating plant pathogen. But this is not just another genome. 🧵 -NO CANONICAL TELOMERES. Instead, a novel 16-mer tandem repeat at chromosome ends. A new mechanism

New paper Nature Genetics nature.com/articles/s4158… Our most recent thinking on HYP effectors involves programmed shuffling of the parasite genome. This prompted us to review how and when organisms edit their own genomes In so doing, Vincent made two important discoveries... (1/3)
