Using unused RNA-seq data from wheat blast–infected field samples (via Open Wheat Blast), we identified candidate S genes and validated one by in-planta experiments. Thanks @tofazzalislam for collaboration.
Special thanks @kamounlab.bsky.social for leading OpenWheatBlast. www.nature.com/articles

Field pathogenomics and evolutionary conservation unveil CRISPR-targetable susceptibility genes for wheat blast resistance - Scientific Reports
Wheat blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae pathotype Triticum (MoT), threatens global wheat production, yet durable resistance mechanisms remain elusive. Current strategies relying on race-specific res...

Definitely worth a read.
Big thanks to @KamounLab for highlighting key messages! 🙌
Helped us see more clearly how science should be done—beyond journals and impact factors.
Thanks again @Edel_PLopez for your insights 🙏.

I just published: Stop displaying journal names on your slides
A mentoring event at a Congress called for better support of early-career scientists - but what followed sent mixed signals. This blog reflects on those moments and ends with a pledge.

Ethylene promotes SMAX1 accumulation to inhibit arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis - Nature Communications
The authors provide a molecular explanation for how a plant stress hormone called ethylene suppresses root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi. These fungi form symbioses with most land plants...
