🔬 An intimate glimpse of Colletotrichum graminicola weaving its path during maize leaf infection.
🌿 Biotrophic hyphae elegantly advance between host cells, tracing silent paths beneath the surface.
🧬 A quiet conquest, cell by cell.

New report of Colletotrichum graminicola in Austria, showing its ongoing spread across Europe. Congratulations to all the authors, and especially to Silvia Gutiérrez-Sánchez, the first student I had the pleasure to co-supervise during her undergraduate thesis. 🔬🌽🧫🔁 @phypapers.bsky.social
Every spring, these wild orchids return to #CIALE #USAL. A quiet reminder that nature and science can grow together, Orchis species blooming in harmony with research.
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of leading a practical session of the Genetic Engineering and Genomics course for undergraduate biology students at #USAL. We explored how to analyze and interpret DNA sequences and use basic bioinformatics tools, under the supervision of Prof. Serenella Sukno. 🧬
Daily life in the lab: testing the growth of different #Colletotrichum graminicola strains under stress to evaluate cell wall and membrane integrity. These experiments are part of the MSc project of David Andrés Jerez-Vanegas, a very committed student I have the pleasure of co-supervising. 🔬🍄🙂
Yesterday, we enjoyed a performance by the #ColectivoDiversas choir! They did an amazing job! Congratulations to all the members of the group for their hard work and dedication! =) This video corresponds to ”Canción 8M: Sal a Luchar". Follow them on Facebook: www.facebook.com/profile.php?....
Two press releases on our recent study of Colletotrichum graminicola, a fungal pathogen threatening maize. I was glad to contribute to this work exploring its evolutionary history and global spread.

Daily life in the lab: Today we used the confocal microscope at #CIALE #USAL to take pictures of #Colletotrichum graminicola infected roots at early stages. It was a very productive session! 🔬
Starting a new research adventure in France thanks to a #FEMS Research and Training Grant! I’ve joined the #BIOGER unit at #INRAE, #AgroParisTech, to study a fungal effector from #Colletotrichum higginsianum and its role during #Arabidopsis thaliana infection. Grateful and excited! @femsmicro.org 🧫🌱
Our new study reveals diverse #Colletotrichum species causing pre-harvest #apple bitter rot and Glomerella leaf spot in Italy. Findings highlight the need for targeted disease management strategies to protect apple orchards. @plantdisease.bsky.social @salvos-98.bsky.social
