It was great to host you @thesainsburylab.bsky.social Thank you for your inspiring seminar and all the exciting discussions @algazuccaro.bsky.social
Team_ZuccaroLovely evening! Thank you Wenbo and Nick for the warm hospitality and the excellent science. @talbotlabtsl.bsky.social.

A β-carboline natural product induces oxidative stress in Fusarium graminearum and limits the virulence of multiple fungal phytopathogens | mBioFungal diseases are a major threat to global food production, and many crop pathogens
are becoming resistant to existing fungicides. This study identifies a promising new
strategy to combat these infe...journals.asm.orgExcited to preprint this collaborative study led by @adamrbentham.bsky.social in which computationally-designed protein binders were generated that recognise pathogen effectors leading to a plant immune response when deployed within NLR immune receptors. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Computational design of de novo integrated domains enables rational control of pathogen effector recognition in plant NLR immune receptors.The rapid evolution of plant pathogens poses a persistent threat to global agricultural sustainability, often outpacing the discovery and deployment of natural disease resistance genes.

The mycobiont of the lichen Xanthoria parietina produces the siderophore ferrichrome which enables iron acquisition and nutrient exchange with its algal photobiont. Great collaboration with my group & @metalichen.bsky.social led by Hubertus Haas 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Siderophore production by the lichen fungus Xanthoria parietina supports its algal symbiont - Nature CommunicationsThe mechanisms underlying the adaptation of lichens to nutrient-poor environments are poorly understood.

Vanishing Virulence: Investigating pathogenicity loss in a plant pathogenic fungus (TALBOT_S26DTP3) | Doctoral Training PartnershipWhat makes a plant killer lose its edge? This project will investigate why fungal pathogens lose virulence when they are grown in laboratory culture away from their host plant.
