On this lovely drizzly day 🌧️ when the pycnidia are exuding their spores, let’s leave the bears alone and instead see whether the #springtails are going to graze on the spores of #Zymoseptoria tritici!

Wheat stage "épi 1 cm" — the right moment to launch the field experiment for the #PheCollPhyt2 #SATTLutech project, led by #UMR_MECADEV in collaboration with @inrae-bioger.bsky.social: placing springtails in contact with #Zymoseptoria tritici and testing attractants. Will they enjoy? 🍴 🤗

Exciting new project in our lab @babrahaminst.bsky.social! We are working with @alesdantas.bsky.social at @newcastleuni.bsky.social to understand how extrachromosomal circular DNA mediates drug resistance in fungal pathogens

To investigate infection phase-specific gene expression in #Zymoseptoria tritici, Sandra V. Gomez-Gutierrez et al. analyzed gene expression during infection of susceptible and resistant wheat cultivars, as well as the nonhost species barley: https://doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-07-25-0090-R

Fig. 4. Lesion growth plotted against lesion area and lesion age. Yellow curves represent linear or nonlinear quantile regression fits; green lines show loess-smoothed trends. X axis limits were set to display all data points within the 99th percentile; models were fitted, and predictions are shown only within this range, due to limited data beyond this threshold. All coefficients of the regression models were statistically significant (P < 2.2 × 10−16).

Using deep learning-based image analysis, Jonas Anderegg et al. tracked 6,889 individual lesions caused by #Zymoseptoria tritici on 14 wheat cultivars across two field seasons, enabling 27,218 precise measurements of lesion growth in the field: https://doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-05-25-0187-R

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
