Congratulations @estukenbrock.bsky.social 🥳🥳🥳
Well deserved!
🎉 📰 Very happy to share the journal publication of our manuscript "Plant-associated fungi co-opt ancient antimicrobials for host manipulation"! #ScienceAdvancesResearch @science.org
@teamthomma.bsky.social
www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Nearly a year after our symposium on Repeat-Induced Point (RIP) mutations, I’m happy to share the fruit of some of our discussions.
The fungal RIP hypermutator mechanism has deep eukaryotic roots www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
We hope to spark interest in this underappreciated mechanism.
Many pathogens that infect wild plants are close relatives of crop pathogens. Important model systems for studying plant diseases. Check out the special issue on wild plant pathosystems published in the Philosophical Transactions B: royalsocietypublishing.org/rstb/issue/3...

and I reviewed what we know about our favourite cereal killer and compared it to human-infecting relatives. Check it out! 👇

Fungal effectors may have evolved from ancient antimicrobials, shaping plant microbiota and immunity during infection.
The blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is the causal agent of the most serious disease of cultivated rice and an emerging threat to wheat production. Controlling blast diseases is therefore critical t...
So proud to see this story finally out!🎉 We added new data since our previous preprint—transgenic barley plants with an engineered immune receptor that fights off two fungal pathogens at once. Short 🧵 and link to the original preprint thread on X👇

Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathog...

We just received funding for a 2yr postdoc position on cryoEM of fungal gpcrs. Official call will open soon.

📢 EffectorGeneP is finally here! Stop missing small, single-exon or orphan genes from your favourite pathogen genome. Current tools only annotate 15%-78% of effector genes, EffectorGeneP finds 95% - including the large AvrSr26 family in stem rust. #Bioinformatics 📖 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
📣Last week another @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social dropped:
"A fungal pathogen effector that shapes host plant microbiota kills bacteria through lipoteichoic acid binding and membrane disruption" a joint effort by @nicksnelders.bsky.social & @gabriellapetti.bsky.social

Congratulations to Prof. Eva Stukenbrock on her appointment to the Leopoldina.
Her research on fungal pathogens helps us better understand evolution and protect crops.
