Really proud of this collaborative work exploring how fungal effectors exploit prion-like domains to access plastids and influence plant metabolism during symbiosis. Great to see the PEPSI–DXR story come together. @neto_flames@JohanaMisas@TheVilchezLab

New preprint from our lab: Cis-regulatory elements orchestrate phase-specific effector gene expression in Ustilago maydis
Congrats to Georgios Saridis, @janinawern and everyone involved!
Take a look:

Just online! Effectors extend beyond immune suppression acting as multifunctional tools and immunometabolic regulators that synergistically shape host compatibility and the microbiota. Immunometabolic (re)programming: microbial strategies for compatibility https://t.co/TjxfsZXXYa
Plz retweet! W3 professor position Pest and Disease Forecast and Sustainable control at the University of Bonn open! Go for it! Its a great place to be.
It was a pleasure to present our work at the Indo-German Plant-Microbe Interactions Meeting at BITS Pilani!
Ved represented @sbslab_IISERM with a poster presentation. Great to connect with so many brilliant scientists in the plant–microbe field!
@DBS_IISERM@IiserMohali
Excited to co-host the Indo-German workshop on Plant-Microbe Interactions @bitspilaniindia
🗓️ Oct 27–28, 2025
📍NAB Auditorium, BITS Pilani
A fantastic lineup of talks and exciting science on plant-microbe interactions, stress biology & more!
🇮🇳🤝🇩🇪 🌱🍄🦠💚@NCBS_Bangalore
Plz repost. Fresh Preprint led by @AlexWGuyon
When a pathogen pushes into a cell already occupied by a symbiotic fungus, things change. New membrane phosphoinositides at haustoria may impact immunity & trafficking - And the roots are more resistant!

#iMMM2025 @dralexdallaire with a banger of a research finding - AM fungi have lost the tools (ie polymerases) for DNA replication and translesion repair resembling findings in Microsporidia
So, how does replication work?

I’m hiring a postdoc biochemist for my team at @TelAvivUni (ISF_NCSF-funded) 🔬
Focus: protein purification, PPI, ubiquitin biology & targeted protein breakdown in plant drought response 🌱☀️
📩 Send a cover letter & CV to [email protected]
#iMMM2025 we are starting the second day with @mahdi_lisa from @Team_Zuccaro who dissects the interactions of Serendipita fungi with barley and other barley pathogens such as Bipolaris sorokiniana, the role of synthetic bacterial microbiota
Exciting news! 🎉 BSPP's 2025 RKS Wood Prize has been awarded to Professor Paul Birch for his outstanding contributions to plant pathology. 🌿🔬 Learn more about his incredible achievements and this prestigious award here:📷https://t.co/ka32QVCSgf
