And the cherry on top for the grand finale🍒: can we engineer other NLRs to gain Pwl2 recognition? We introduced the predicted Pwl2 binding interface of MLA3 into the rye NLR SR50--🥁The engineered version of SR50 now responds to *both* AvrSr50 AND Pwl2. How cool is that?!😎12/15

I am *beyond thrilled* to have the work from my PhD finally out!! 💫
We found that MLA3, a plant immune receptor, mimics a virulence target of Magnaporthe oryzae to set a trap for this fungus and trigger disease resistance. How cool is that?! 🤓

Question: when does SAVE not mean save? Answer, when you’re using CANVAS! In CANVAS, “save” means only save everything you’ve already saved, but throw away everything you’ve already “saved” if you don’t hit save again! @Canvas_by_Inst

Hey, our phototrophic yeast paper is now out in @CurrentBiology.
sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
This work was led by grad student @autpeterson and research scientist Tony Burnetti, and we had help from @GaTechMicrobes' Carina Baskett.
Just how many predatory journals are out there? I’ve been blocking spam from them daily for the past month and still I get about 10 requests/day for submissions…

Recent survey using Scopus database revealed that Univ. Federal de Viçosa (UFV) is doing OK regarding publications. Much better than bigger agricultural-research institutions. @ufvbr ranks #2 among "non-statewide" federal institutions located in non-capital cities.

We are go for Launch! Excited to announce that my Starship proposal on giant #transposons in #fungal #genomes has been awarded an #ERCCoG!!! This will mean opportunities for postdoc and PhD position, so stay tuned for more.
Happy to share our latest publication and announce the release of several new Pyricularia genomes: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/… ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/… nature.com/articles/s41559-0…

Shattering Myths: Our understanding of #WheatBlast biol. & epidemiol. takes a turn. A thorough re-evaluation of phylogenomic data points to sampling oversights clouding current knowledge. apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/1…. Kudos to @namraf64 for spearheading this enlightening 2-part tale
