The first article of Camille Rabeau (CIFRE PhD student @inrae-bioger.bsky.social and @innolea) now on bioRxiv. Camille characterized Leptosphaeria maculans effector genes expressed during stem colonization of rapeseed and identified new resistance sources. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Conserved 'late' effector genes from Leptosphaeria maculans inducing gene-for-gene quantitative resistance in Brassica napus semi-winter genotypes

Leptosphaeria maculans is a phytopathogenic fungus responsible for stem canker on Brassica napus . Its infectious cycle goes through an early phase of leaf infection and a late phase of colonization a...

Thrilled that our work is now finally out in Nature Comms!

We reveal cryo-EM structures of the MRN complex bound to DNA & TRF2 - showing how DNA breaks are sensed and regulated at telomeres.
Fantastic work by first authors @yilanfan.bsky.social @filizkuybu.bsky.social & Hengjun!

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?

Current methods for profiling #HistoneModifications require cell isolation & don't work with all tissue types. @jellevda.bsky.social &co adapt Targeted DamID (TaDa) to profile cell-type-specific #histone marks throughout the genome, in vivo, without cell isolation 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3Dw8sUD

Profiling histone marks with TaDa. Top left: Schematic showing methods used for Targeted DamID profiling of histone modifications. Bottom left: Illustration demonstrating fusion of Dam to chromatin-binding domains for H3K4me3 or H3K27me3 and to mintbodies (scFvs) against H3K9ac or H4K20me1. Right: Histone marks near the Mira locus (shaded) in Drosophila third-instar neural stem cells.

Have a look at the EPLM team posters today at #ECFG17 on the regulation of Leptosphaeria maculans effector gene expression (P2.409) and on the identification of rapeseed resistances triggered by late effectors (P2.138).

Could we identify broad-spectrum resistances able to recognize structural families of effectors? During her PhD, Nacera Talbi demonstrated proof of concept with the Rlm3 resistance protein, which can recognize members of the LARS structural family. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
