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.

Amazing! This report suggests that a gall aphid injects into their plant host an enzyme that manipulates auxin levels in the host and thereby induces galls.

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.
Right now anti-gene-editing groups are lobbying MEPs to block crucial innovation that will make European agriculture more sustainable.
The final vote on legislation governing the use of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) will take place next week.

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇
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....
