Excited to see our peer-reviewed work on recurrent horizontal mini-chromosome transfer in the blast fungus now out! ✨ academic.oup.com/mbe/advance… Thanks team 🌈 @smlatorreo @ThorstenLangner @KamounLab @hernanaburbano @YuSugiharaY @joewinnz @Adeline_Harant @AngusMalmgren

Multiple Horizontal Mini-chromosome Transfers Drive Genome Evolution of Clonal Blast Fungus Lineages

Abstract. Crop disease pandemics are often driven by asexually reproducing clonal lineages of plant pathogens that reproduce asexually. How these clonal pa

Very excited to share our latest paper! We solved the structure of the helper NLR NRC2 activated by the virus resistance protein Rx using cryo-EM. It forms a hexameric inflammasome-like resistosome! 1/14 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Very excited to share our latest preprint about coevolutionary dynamics between NLRs and their inhibitor! Solanaceae helper NLR NRC3 evolved to evade the inhibition by cyst nematode effector SS15 over 19 Mya (1/12) #EvoMPMI #NLRbiology #PlantPath #PlantSci doi.org/10.1101/2024.06.16.5…

That is a wrap. Great Magnafest 2024 at #Fungal24. See you all in Ireland at #EFGC2025. Thanks to @ElyOliveiraGar1 for co-organising and for @ThorstenLangner and Martin Egan for volunteering to organise next years Magnafest 2025

0/ Very happy to announce my last PhD paper is finally out, years after my PhD completion. I had been very busy with my postdoc research, but made it back to this work! A journey into #Bioengineering secreted proteases for #PlantImmunity. 🌱🔬 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Bioengineering secreted proteases converts divergent Rcr3 orthologs and paralogs into extracellular...

Secreted immune proteases Rcr3 and Pip1 of tomato are both inhibited by Avr2 from the fungal plant pathogen Cladosporium fulvum but only Rcr3 act as a decoy co-receptor that detects Avr2 in the...

Multiple horizontal mini-chromosome transfers drive genome evolution of clonal blast fungus lineages

Crop disease pandemics are often driven by clonal lineages of plant pathogens that reproduce asexually. How these clonal pathogens continuously adapt to their hosts despite harboring limited genetic...

Together, we show that horizontal mini-chromosome transfer is occurring in the blast fungus under field conditions, and this facilitates genetic exchange among host-associated lineages (8/9)

We propose that blast fungus lineages infecting wild grasses act as genetic reservoirs of clonal and pandemic lineages that afflict cereal crops (9/9) 🌱🌾
