Host killing by necrotrophs is really complex.
Using a 29-gene knockout series in Botrytis cinerea, we show that removing nearly all known cell death-inducing proteins and major phytotoxins is not sufficient to prevent host necrosis.

Very pleased to see this out. Our new Poecilia picta genome shows rapid Y degeneration in a young XY system — rapid gene loss and Helitron accumulation, plus compensatory gene traffic to autosomes. Led by @joellelafond.bsky.social with Yuying Lin & @squarehare.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/mec....
Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic plant pathogen with an extremely wide host range. During invasion, the fungus induces rapid host cell death and proliferates in the necrotic tissue. The mechanisms o...

A plant receptor detects caterpillar attack and triggers emission of chemical cues to attract predatory wasps.
Top leaders at the American Diabetes Association have resigned in wake of the huge outpouring of support for the 5 scientists — incl an ADA flagship journal editor — that the ADA forcibly removed from the annual meeting for disturbing an editorial from the ADA’s own flagship journal.
Delighted to announce that this year’s Schering Young Investigator Award has been awarded to Can Aztekin, Max-Planck-Research Group Leader. Congratulations Can!

We just published our new paper about an active Helitron transposon in wheat 🌾🧬
We found that it can be mobilised by heat stress when DNA methylation is reduced.
We document its full lifecycle: RNA -> circular DNA -> integration

Ya. The place to start in biology is the system mechanism to understand what is interesting and what is not. 🤓

Helitrons are a recently identified category of transposons. This study reveals that heat stress combined with reduced DNA methylation can mobilize a Helitron family in wheat. Its mobilization is gene...
