Leafy liverwort genomes shed light on the evolution of ericoid symbiosis Mycorrhizal symbiosis has been fundamental to colonization of terrestrial ecosystems by plants, influencing population dynamics, biogeography, and their evolution. The emergence of the ancient arbuscu...

[🚨Pre-print alert🚨] Excited to share our findings on the enigmatic ericoid mycorrhizal symbiosis.

🔴For the first time we provide evidence that ericoid mycorrhizae evolved from ancestral
arbuscular mycorrhizae through the co-option nutrient-dependent regulation 👇!

How does heat reshape plant immune responses?
Our PhD student Anica Schmauch shows higher temperatures boost ROS bursts in barley and potentially affect Z. passerinii growth, revealing abiotic-biotic cross-talk in disease resistance.

Can fungal pathogens hijack host signaling peptides?
Our PhD student Maxim Faroux @molecularmax.bsky.social uncovers a Zymoseptoria KEX2-processed effector putatively mimicking the plant hormone peptide phytosulfokine (PSK) known to lower immunity against hemibiotrophs.

The meeting ended with an exciting panel discussion on possible future directions after 12 glorious years of the @dfg.de funded @trr124-funginet.bsky.social consortium. With @estukenbrock.bsky.social, Oliver Kurzai, Axel Brakhage and others.

Excellent days in Würzburg with great fungal research and inspiring discussions. Last meeting of FuniNet but a soild foundation for new directions of more fungal research.

Image shows the branching moss Physcomitrium patens (delicate, green, transparent filaments shown on a flat, grey background). The researchers used this moss to study stress reactions and compare them to algae. The image was taken via microscope - many thanks to researcher Tatyana Darienko.

How did plants evolve to cope with such a challenging habitat?

It turns out the answer is in 600 million years of stress! Researchers compared algae and plants spanning million years of independent evolution: www.uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html...
