Back in Friedrichroda for the 21st Reinhardsbrunn Symposium! Looking forward to four days discussing all things fungicides and resistance.
Be part of OMGN! Open to all researchers with an interest in oomycetes, from molecular genetics & genomics to biology, population biology, and ecology, at either an experimental or a computational level. Investigators new to the field are always welcome oomycetes.com
Among the plant pathogens, there are just so many rusts! 85% of plant diseases caused by fungi are rusts, 200 genera, 18 families, 7000-8000 species astounding stats from Cathie Aime. #Fungal26 11/15
New Article: "An NLR–transposase fusion gene from rye provides broadly effective resistance to stripe rust in wheat" rdcu.be/e7z39
Broad-spectrum stripe rust resistance gene Yr83 coned from rye; encodes a unique NLR–transposase fusion protein. #PlantScience

Niab is part of an international research team, led by CSIRO that's created a detailed map of avirulence genes in wheat stem rust. The study shows how changes in these pathogen genes can allow new strains to infect varieties previously protected by resistance genes ➡️ https://ow.ly/Law050YiGPB
Niab has played an important role in an international pathogenomics study including providing a uniquely preserved oat crown rust sample collected in the UK back in 1984 ➡️ https://ow.ly/EX2950YhwaY
