#Rust on maize (#Zea mays) caused by #Puccinia sorghi with abundant urediniospores (28-32 × 20-26 µm) and a few rare teliospores — here hyperparasitized by Sphaerellopsis sp. ; sampling by Laura Nunes 🙏 from @ideevl.bsky.social field experiments (Gif-sur-Yvette, FR).

Can I also join?

📣 I’m recruiting a #Postdoc to help us further our understanding on the infection strategies of our human fungal pathogen. If you’re enthusiastic about research, our interdisciplinary group @leibniz-hki.de will be a good fit for you! Please share!

Curious about how novel #plant #pathogens emerge? Check out our microreview on whether #fungal disease outbreaks are instigated by Starship #transposons. We present three examples that we think are evidence of outbreaks caused by Starship HGT. bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
