Fungal pathogens often carry dispensable chromosomes (DCs) that confer a selective advantage in adverse environments or during host infection but can be spontaneously lost under non-selective conditio...

Technological advances over the past decade have enabled genome-wide mapping of chromatin organization across diverse organisms at unprecedented resolution. These studies have uncovered both conserve…

What I told early-career researchers about prediction, rigour, failure, priors — and the tyranny of bar graphs.

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 ...

Background During host colonization, fungal plant pathogens secrete effector-like proteins that alter host cell physiology and target plant-associated microbes. However, rapid evolution and low sequen...

To cause rice blast disease, the filamentous fungus Magnaporthe oryzae develops a specialised infection cell called an appressorium, which generates enormous turgor to breach the rice leaf cuticle. Al...

IPB Press Release, September 3, 2026 A great success for plant research at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB) in Halle: The independent junior research group leader Mariana Schuster has been awarded a highly funded ERC Starting Grant from the European Research Council for her FRONTERA project. Over a period of five years and with funding of 1.5 million euros, she and her team will investigate how the targeted cleavage of membrane proteins regulates the immune defense of plants.
