#JJC2026 @baudinmael.bsky.social (@irhs-angers.bsky.social) on ancient MAX #effector variants of a #fungal #pathogen evading apoplastic #immunity in #apple
Delighted to be attending (and sharing our latest results!) at the Journées Jean Chevaugeon (@sfp-france.bsky.social) #JJC2026 this week 🌱
Looking forward to the great science and connecting with fellow researchers over the coming days - all in this wonderful location!
#JJC2026 @fmartin54.bsky.social gives us an amazing evening talk about his 45-year career on forest ecosystems, ectomycorrhizae, fungal genomics and mycobiome research
#JJC2026 @jmaidment.bsky.social (@phimresearch.bsky.social) on structural characterisation of the interactions between #Magnaporthe oryzae MAX #effectors and their #virulence targets in #rice
Bruno Le Cam @irhs-angers.bsky.social is kicking off the #JJC2026 conference on #Mycology and #Phytopathology. 4 days of science in the scenic mountains of #Aussois!
From Nicotiana to apple: effector screening reveals new avenues for durable scab resistance www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12...
🧬 New preprint on fungal effector 🍄🍎
We identify AvrRvi6, the first AVR from Venturia inaequalis.
AvrRvi6 is a MAX effector with apoplastic activity, expanding the functional landscape of this major effector family.
📄 bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
A great documentary with a touch of plant science in it!

I am looking for a (bio)chemist to join the lab and help us making affinity-based probes for proteases! The project is truly interdisciplinary with a strong computational chemistry component, peptide synthesis and plant biochemistry!
Text me if interested and please spread the word!
Curious about AvrRvi6, the apoplastic MAX effector from Venturia inaequalis?
Come check out my poster P-162 during Session 2 at #2025ISMPMI!
Let’s talk effectors, immunity, and apple scab 🍏🍄
