Daniel Maddock (@michhulin.bsky.social’s group) investigates prophage carrying a key effector protein that enables Pseudomonas bacteria to infect cherry trees. Deleting the whole prophage reduces virulence of the bacterium on the plant (leaf and woody tissue) 🍒 #PlantHealth2025

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?

New from the Carter Lab! Led by @bhuwanabbot.bsky.social, we sequenced almost twice as many complete genomes as were available for the endofungal Mycetohabitans genus. Unsurprisingly, they are a little weird, giving us insight into endosymbiotic genome changes 🧬 🦠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Gave one of the last lectures in my MPMI 🌱 class today, specifically on applications of molecular plant pathology. It was fun to nerd out about how far technologies have come in the last few years 🤩🧬. Such an exciting time to be working/studying!
