Plant pathologist @INRAE_france. Interested in plant –fungi interactions, effectors, epigenetics, functional genomics. Views are my own.
@INRAE_Bioger well represented at the #ECFG17. See our oral presentations CS1.3.7 and CS1.7.2 this afternoon, and posters P2.138 and P2.409 tomorrow
Dear all. I'm slowly migrating to Bluesky (@ifudal.bsky.social). Please join me there! 🙏😀🌱
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. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Dive into the massive genomes of plant pathogenic rust fungi! 🌿🍄 Our study reveals how ancestral & recent bursts of transposition have shaped these remarkable genomes. 👏 Congrats to @Emma______C on her 1st PhD paper! 🙌 @SebbyRust, Emmanuelle Morin biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
La @SFP_France vous adresse ses meilleurs vœux pour 2025 ! Elle vous informe de la tenue de son 12ème colloque national à Bordeaux du 20 au 23 mai 2025, pour lequel les inscriptions seront ouvertes d’ici fin janvier : sfp-conf2025.sciencesconf.org
This year, our invited speaker is Jean Guy Berrin @jgberrin @BBFlab on Fungal carbohydrate enzymes #FungIDF
We are delighted to announce that nearly 700 abstracts have been submitted for #ECFG17! Join leading researchers, industry experts, and young scientists who share a passion for advancing fungal science. Make sure to book your spot: ecfg17.org
New from the lab: @WeiWei_Plantbio uses computational and synthetic biology to engineer plant promoter for disease resistance - we find elements induced by multiple pathogens. Can they be used for broad spectrum disease resistance? 🌟🌱We think yes, better with fine-tuning

Des chercheurs @INRAE_France et de l'Institut de Physique de Nice ont étudié les interactions fascinantes entre #microbes et #plantes grâce à des dispositifs microfluidiques et des techniques d’imagerie performantes 🧑🔬🔬🦠🌱 url.inrae.fr/3ZxikGn
New PhD position in plant-microbe interactions! Our newly established DFG Research Unit "MadFungi" will study mechanisms of competition in plant-colonizing fungi: portal.uni-koeln.de/en/universitae… Within MadFungi, our lab is offering a PhD position: jobportal.uni-koeln.de/ausschreibung/…
Our proposed engineering solution - iterative searches for optimal immune receptor alleles. In future, we can do these rounds in silico, today - we need to collect data. @KyungyongS accumulated over 6,000 infiltration data points - all guided by rational design logic circuit
To bypass this problem, we relied on an iterative computational workflow that can be refined with experimental data: i) derive a model, ii) mutate charged residues to their opposite charges, iii) test the interaction of receptor and effector mutants, and iv) refine the model.
Please RT. Two-year postdoc position in collab. with BASF: we are looking for a molecular plant pathologist or plant biologist to work on atypical gene-for-gene interactions between rapeseed and its fungal pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans. @INRAE_Bioger bioger.versailles-saclay.hub.inrae.fr/toutes-les-off…
Figeno, my visualization tool for genomics🎨🧬, is now published in Bioinformatics! doi.org/10.1093/bioinf… It can generate publication-quality figures for sequencing data along genomic coordinates: bigwig, HiC, @nanopore data with base modifications, and WGS with CNAs and SVs.
Plz RT. Postdoc position: We are looking for a plant biologist with a strong interest in the model system Marchantia and comparative studies with flowering plants. @slcuplants @Cambridge_Uni jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/46686/
We are looking for a new colleague at the director level. Spread the word in the (plant) world. Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research - Director mpipz.mpg.de/director
So pleased to see our Nature Plants paper is out on @NaturePlants 🥳🎉 Check a plot twist on the interaction between the effector from M. oryzae AVR-Pita and a known resistance protein here 🌾🍄 doi.org/10.1038/s41477… A huge thanks to all collaborators @ThomasKroj @BaudinMael
We have a fully funded, 3-year PhD position available, co-directed by Fabien Halkett @UMR_IAM, @ifudal @INRAE_Bioger & Suzanne Touzeau @SAgrobiotech, to study the #demogenetics of plant #disease #resistance overcoming ➡️jobs.inrae.fr/en/ot-22016 Apply before July 1, 2024 Plz RT!
