We bid farewell to Cristina @cbarragan__ who will be joining @embl in Heidelberg 🇩🇪

Cristina advanced our understanding of the genome evolution and diversity of the blast fungus. Check these hashtags #BLASTOFF #EUROBLAST #BLASTMOBILE #OPENRICEBLAST

All the best in your next adventure!

Coming soon to a preprint server near you 😉 #openriceblast #BLASTOFF

Green shoots of hope for Italy’s first gene-edited crop field trial Temporary relaxing of regulations brings request for outdoor trial of fungus-resistant rice variety. Temporary relaxing of regulations brings request for outdoor trial of fungus-resistant rice variety...

Wonderful news to see our basic research on the effector targets sHMA make it into GE field trials. Kudos Team #BLASTOFF #openriceblast #effectorwisdom @ThorstenLangner @ryoheiterauchi @vittoriabr www.nature.com/articles/d43...
