Author summary Blast, caused by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae, is one of the world’s most devastating rice diseases. During infection, M. oryzae secretes a diverse set of molecules, known as ...

Croll lab at University of Neuchatel. The lab of Daniel Croll wants to understand how pathogens evolve to cause disease. For this, we mainly focus on major crop pathogens to unravel mechanisms of rapi...

Root vascular pathogens like Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) severely impact agriculture by colonizing the xylem, thereby disrupting the transport of water...

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. While bioengin...

What 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. Use cutting-edge…

Our prizes are awarded to researchers who have contributed to scientific breakthroughs or in other ways distinguished themselves within natural or medical science.

Engineering the barley NLR RGH2 enhances recognition of blast pathogen effectors from rice and wheat, leading to improved disease resistance.

Plant pathogens deploy large families of structurally related but sequence-diverse effector proteins to manipulate host cells, allowing them to evade immune recognition whilst maintaining the capacit...

Plant pathogenic fungi represent a serious threat for the productivity of agricultural systems. The blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae is a multi-host pathogen that infects both, cultivated and wild gras...

📢 Check out this checklist of crop wild relatives in Zimbabwe! 💡 Crop wild relatives are the untamed cousins of our cultivated crops. 📊 The checklist provides baseline data for crop improvement and...

Why mammals cannot regenerate limbs like amphibians do presents a long-standing puzzle in biology. To uncover the underlying differences, we compared amputation responses of embryonic mouse (Mus musculus) and Xenopus laevis tadpole limbs. Lowering ...

Nextflow pipeline for reference genome mapping, SNP calling and quality checks on large genome panels

Large mobile genetic elements known as Starships act as vehicles for transferring transposable elements (TEs) between fungi. Here, Griem-Krey et al. show that these ‘hitchhiking’ TEs can drive rapid e...
