Today, we had the pleasure to welcome @carlmesarich.bsky.social and Ashleigh Mosen from Massey university @inrae-bioger.bsky.social to discuss projects and collaboration. Carl Mesarich gave a seminar on avirulence effectors of Venturia inaequalis and Fulvia fulva and on their switch to virulence

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

PhD position (4 years) available in my group @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social. We look for candidates with solid aptitude in computer science to cross disciplines and use cutting edge imaging to understand host infection by destructive plant pathogens.

My group at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social is offering a post-doctoral position (4 years). We look for a structural biologist with experience in Cryo-EM/Cryo-ET to investigate the mechanisms of host invasion by pathogenic fungi. Deadline February 28th!
uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet...
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!
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.

@parissaclay.bsky.social @spsplantsciences.bsky.social
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...
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?
Check out our fungi-tastic special issue, full of marvels of mycology — and many articles accessible for free!

Current methods for profiling #HistoneModifications require cell isolation & don't work with all tissue types. @jellevda.bsky.social &co adapt Targeted DamID (TaDa) to profile cell-type-specific #histone marks throughout the genome, in vivo, without cell isolation 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3Dw8sUD

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).
@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.
@inrae-bioger.bsky.social is ready for a great @ecfg172025.bsky.social
