Super excited to share our latest work! We cloned Rwt3.6.8, a novel wheat NLR/MLKL resistance gene pair that recognizes three distinct AVR effectors (PWT3, PWT6, and PWT8) from the blast fungus Pyricularia oryzae. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… #Blast #Wheat #KFP #phytopathogenetics

Europe always chooses science and partnership. Japan too. Japan is now officially associated with Horizon Europe. This means Japanese researchers and organisations can take part in the world's largest public research and innovation programme. Let's break new frontiers together.

NICE study shows that some #Colletotrichum species can infect plants without melanised appressoria, revealing a previously unknown invasion strategy (NMAE) and redefining how these important fungal pathogens enter their hosts. nature.com/articles/s41467-0… #evolution #plantpathogen

rdcu.be/fro0m reporting Colletotrichum fungi that can invade plants via nonmelanised appressorium-mediated entry (NMAE) and appressorium-independent hyphal tip-based entry (HTE)-type strains. This study suggests that appressorial melanisation is not universally required
