Fig. 4. Single gene and polycistronic transcripts shown for reannotated gene models (RGMs) ZtIPO323_010430 and ZtIPO323_010440. RGMs ZtIPO323_010430 and ZtIPO323_010440, located at chr_1: 2692944...2694593 and chr_1: 2694544...2697087, respectively, were transcribed on the same strand with overlapping 3′ untranslated region (UTR) and 5′ UTR (red rectangle).

Nicolas Lapalu et al. developed a new method to improve the prediction of eukaryotic genes and demonstrate its utility using the genome of the fungal wheat pathogen #Zymoseptoria tritici. Learn more: https://doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-07-25-0077-TA

A permanent position as a research scientist is opened in our team! We look for a plant physiologist with expertise in plant / microorganism interactions to identify plant susceptibility factors to fungal disease. Please forward!

Defence Recognition of a Stripe Rust Fungal Effector Is Uncoupled from Disease Outcomes in Wheat | Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions® Plant resistance (R) and pathogen avirulence (Avr) gene interactions are central to pathogen recognition and disease resistance in crops.

Our first wheat stripe rust avirulence (?!) effector is published "Defence Recognition of a Stripe Rust Fungal Effector Is Uncoupled from Disease Outcomes in Wheat" apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/.... It is not what we expected but this is the most fun part about science. 1/n

Elza Neau's PhD defence is just starting on 'multiple roads to multidrug resistance in plant pathogenic fungi: the case of Zymoseptoria tritici'. A PhD supervised by Sabine Fillinger and Anaïs Laleve at @inrae-bioger.bsky.social and funded by @parissaclay.bsky.social

Bravo à toutes et tous !

Congratulation @Camille Rabeau who defended her PhD today on innovative ways to identify new resistance sources to Leptosphaeria maculans in rapeseed. A great co supervision with Audren Jiquel @inrae-bioger.bsky.social and Sébastien Faure @innolea. Good luck Camille with your new position as breeder

Now published in Plant Pathology.

The first article of Camille Rabeau (CIFRE PhD student @inrae-bioger.bsky.social and @innolea) now on bioRxiv. Camille characterized Leptosphaeria maculans effector genes expressed during stem colonization of rapeseed and identified new resistance sources. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Assistant Professor of Plant Pathology University of California, Davis is hiring. Apply now!

My department at UC Davis is hiring a mycologist, broadly interpreted. Please repost, share, and consider applying. recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07339

Thrilled that our work is now finally out in Nature Comms!

We reveal cryo-EM structures of the MRN complex bound to DNA & TRF2 - showing how DNA breaks are sensed and regulated at telomeres.
Fantastic work by first authors @yilanfan.bsky.social @filizkuybu.bsky.social & Hengjun!

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?

Really strong candidate for the coolest story of the year (I know it’s still just march)!!! Kudos @svenklumpe.bsky.social @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social & all involved 👏

Have a look at the EPLM team posters today at #ECFG17 on the regulation of Leptosphaeria maculans effector gene expression (P2.409) and on the identification of rapeseed resistances triggered by late effectors (P2.138).

#ecfg17

@INRAE_Bioger is well represented at the #ECFG17. See oral presentations CS1.3.7 and CS1.7.2 this afternoon, and posters P2.138 and P2.409 tomorrow.

Could we identify broad-spectrum resistances able to recognize structural families of effectors? During her PhD, Nacera Talbi demonstrated proof of concept with the Rlm3 resistance protein, which can recognize members of the LARS structural family. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
