Pyricularia oryzae: Lab star and field scourge The fungal pathogen Pyricularia oryzae (syn. Magnaporthe oryzae) is the causal agent of blast disease on cereals and grasses and a model organism in plant–pathogen interaction research.

Thrilled to have contributed my data analysis & epidemiology experience to this important research on #Pyricularia fungi in 🇵🇾! Grateful to the team for allowing me to contribute my perspective & help protect 🌾#wheatcrops #DataScience 💪📊

Excited to share our latest publication on #Pyricularia fungi's impact on Paraguay's #wheat crops with Cazal's team. Grateful to share support in epidemiology, we hope this serves as an early warning in Paraguay. 🌿🍄💻

Vittoria Brambilla and three of her colleagues from her and Fabio Fornara's labs at the University of Milano are standing in a agricultural field, holding trays with rice seedlings in their hands. They are ready to plant the rice seedlings into the prepared soil. Image from Fabio Fornara: https://twitter.com/fornaralab/status/1790034062121271655

The first gene-edited #rice 🌾 plants are currently being planted in Italy. These plants are edited to be more resistant against the #RiceBlast fungus #Pyricularia oryzae.

Fantastic effort by @vittoriab.bsky.social, Fabio Fornara and their colleagues!

"Two types of risk for Europe: (1) accidental introduction throught infected seed, and (2) host jump from ryegrass". Such a potential host jump is present as #Pyricularia was detected in French football stadium.
