🌱🍄 The EnvGen lab is present at the #CRC1182 2026 retreat. Our postdoc Víctor Flores-Núñez presented his work on how Zymoseptoria tritici secreted invertase can influence the antagonistic activity of leaf-associated bacteria!

Today at the Max Planck Aquavit conference in Plön, we had another chance to celebrate 🎉 our group leader, Eva Stukenbrock, on her recent appointment to the Leopoldina. Seeing her recognised by colleagues across the Max Planck community was very special. We are very proud to be part of her team! 🌾🍄‍🟫

Great talk by @teamthomma.bsky.social who shows that effectors have antimicrobial activities that are ancesteral - other functions within the host have evolved later on to suppress immunity in plants #2025ISMPMI

🌿 Curious about microbiomes, effectors, resistance genes, and temperature stress? Come meet our team at #2025ISMPMI We’ll be presenting posters all week on Zymoseptoria–plant interactions, wild relatives, and immune manipulation! 🧵 Thread with posters & schedule ⬇️
