If you are enjoying #2025ISMPMI then you might also be interested in joining the Plant Peptide and Receptor Meeting #PPRM2025, 8th-10th September in Edinburgh. We have a great lineup of speakers and a diverse and inclusive community. More info here pprm2025.events.kdmeventsportal.co.uk
Up and ready! Find me at P-267 today for some molecular evolution and NLR biology! 🥬💻 You can also find the poster and preprint below 👇🏻 #2025ISMPMI
Looking forward to meeting friends and colleagues at #2025ISMPMI next week! Find me at P-267 >>> Session 1, Monday, 14th. In the meantime, you can check out my poster on Zenodo :) #openscience zenodo.org/records/158379…
Thrilled to share an aspect of my PhD project on the discovery and characterisation of a novel group of 'phosphorylated' effectors deployed by the rice blast fungus during infection. With @talbotlabTSL @Frank_Menke @NeftalyCM @TheSainsburyLab #2025ISMPMI
Here is @EuanCawston at his poster. #2025ISMPMI #proudsupervisor
Big thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster today at #2025ISMPMI! For those that missed it, you can check it out on Zenodo! zenodo.org/records/158805…
Today at #2025ISMPMI I'll present poster P188 about our work with @talbotlabTSL infection-related development in Magnaporthe oryzae using #phosphoproteomics. @Euan-Cawston will present poster P-340 on work investigating feedback regulation in MAPK signalling in M.oryzae.
Poster session coming! Come visit our PHYTOMap methodology + microbiome combo! P-315 by @SiyuSong3 P-441 by @HsuanPai1 #2025ISMPMI Cologne
Don’t miss Pai’s poster on Wednesday at #2025ISMPMI! Also available on Zenodo: zenodo.org/records/158546… #OpenMPMI #OpenScience
🚨New @biorxivpreprint alert! We are thrilled to share our latest findings—building on our earlier work on suppressors of helper NLRs of NRC family—a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector captures resistosome assembly intermediates of tomato NRC3! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/10
First micro-rose to bloom at @TheSainsburyLab ! Progress slowed a bit with moving, but I’m back at it. First up: make the genetic color palette 🎨🧬
