Norwich Rust Group

The Norwich Rust Group (NRG) brings together seven scientific teams from JIC, TSL and TGAC, to study rust fungal pathogens.

Mark your calendars. Join us at ICPP meeting in Boston @EricNazareno @PeterVanesse @globalrust @bluessherpa @MatthewMoscou #rustfungi #community work

Feel like joining an enthusiastic team to work on rust-fungi and come up with solutions for these critical pathogens? The 2Blades group at TSL is hiring. Join the fun @2Blades:

Annika Scheynius on the turning point from commensal to pathogen in Malassezia. It’s closest relatives are the rusts and smuts #Fungal17

Diane Saunders: "Field pathogenomics" can be used to assess pathogen populations directly in the field. #Fungal17

Last but not least: Cécile Lorrain on poplar rust effector localisation.

Mary Aime: There are a lot more evolutionary constraints on the Aecial host compared to Telial host

The staggering diversity and phylogeny of rust fungi elegantly explained by Mary Aime. #Fungal17 #FGCRust17

[Norwich Rust Group @NorwichRust]

Mary Aime: Close relatives of rust have very small genomes (20-30 Mb). #Fungal17 #FGCRust17

[Norwich Rust Group @NorwichRust]

Next up Mary Aime on rust phylogenetics.

Two more talks and then open discussion at the rust workshop!

Jun Goa on host induced gene silencing of a MAPKK that provides strong resistance against Stripe rust. #FGCRust17

[Norwich Rust Group @NorwichRust]

Small secreted proteins, expressed differentially between larch (aecial host) and poplar belong to same multigene family. #FGCRust17

[Norwich Rust Group @NorwichRust]

Does poplar-rust need different effectors to infect its aecial host, larch? #FGCRust17 #Fungal17.
