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 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

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 share.google/evkj7YUd0fFAt4f…

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! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
1/🚨 New preprint alert! Can mutualists and pathogens co-colonise the same living plant cell and what does that do to the plant membranes that surround these microbes?
