The tobamovirus Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) has rapidly emerged as a major threat to tomato production worldwide, overcoming the widely deployed Tm-22-mediated resistance and challenging ...

A night-blooming cactus, a time-lapse, and the case for hosting artists in the lab.

The UAE Plant and Environment Society (UPES) unites leading scientists, researchers, environmental advocates, and community members from across the Gulf to explore critical issues in plant biology, ec...

Ancestral recombination graphs (ARGs) represent the coalescent history at every locus in the genome, subject to mutation and recombination. Modelling viruses using the coalescent with recombination re...

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

Abstract. Biochemical constraints on the admissible amino acids at specific sites in proteins lead to heterogeneity of the amino acid substitution process

Rhynchospora tenuis undergoes obligate, genome-wide achiasmy in both male and female meiosis.

Despite the ubiquity of wild boar populations across Eurasia, their origins, routes of dispersal, and phenotypic evolution remain uncertain. Here, using 745 genomes representing populations across Eur...

We present here a revision of the APG classification that considers the extensive recent analyses of hundreds of nuclear and plastid genes for many angiosperm species. Although previous versions of t...

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 ...

Deciphering the mechanisms of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and protein structural changes within the native cellular environment is crucial for advancing drug discovery. In vivo chemical…

PhyloDig is a command line pipeline for automated homology mining across collections of protein and coding sequence databases. It combines HMMER searches, optional Pfam domain filtering, and sequen...

Heritable microbes profoundly influence insect biology, yet the traits they confer often evolve rapidly and differ among closely related symbiont s...

Plant receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are involved in diverse processes, ranging from growth and reproduction to interactions with microbes. Variation in the extracellular domains delineates several RLKs...

Plants perceive external and internal signals via receptors to modulate their growth, development, and defenses. Leucine-rich-repeat receptor-like-kinase (RLKs) and receptor-like-proteins (RLPs) are t...

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...
