Dan from my lab presented his work on Pseudomonas phage that has an intriguing role in virulence. #planthealth2025 #proudPI

Daniel Maddock (@michhulin.bsky.social’s group) investigates prophage carrying a key effector protein that enables Pseudomonas bacteria to infect cherry trees.
Deleting the whole prophage reduces virulence of the bacterium on the plant (leaf and woody tissue) 🍒

We’re in Hawaii! Looking forward to APS #planthealth2025. Come see Dan’s talk on Pseudomonas phages in the tree disease section on Monday! 🌺

1/🚨 New preprint alert! Can mutualists and pathogens co-colonise the same living plant cell and what does that do to the plant membranes that surround these microbes?

New from the Carter Lab!
Led by @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social, we sequenced almost twice as many complete genomes as were available for the endofungal Mycetohabitans genus.
Unsurprisingly, they are a little weird, giving us insight into endosymbiotic genome changes 🧬 🦠

Gave one of the last lectures in my MPMI 🌱 class today, specifically on applications of molecular plant pathology. It was fun to nerd out about how far technologies have come in the last few years 🤩🧬. Such an exciting time to be working/studying!
