Effectors weren't uniformly deployed across hosts. Minc18636, tested by Nguyen et al. 2018, showed no loss of virulence on tomato when silenced, and - surprisingly- was lowly expressed in my dataset. Silencing it did impact parasitism on Medicago. This is really exciting!

Our data show that the phylogenetic distance of plants did not influence the phenotype or transcriptome profile of Mincognita. More striking, we show that there is essentially no widespread core gall transcriptome at 25 dpi, prompting the proposal of a model best described as all roads lead to Rome

This was so heartwarming 💙

I didn’t win, but honestly, just being nominated feels amazing!

"We have a meme in the lab that "Victor was here". Life and soul of the group, dare say the building, with his contributions to positive working culture. Thank you, Victor!"

Despite their differences, they share a similar regulatory network with lateral root development. This highlights the plasticity of plants and also how other organisms adapted to induce such remarkable changes in their tissues.

🌱 New review out with @minyaojhu.bsky.social and Dr. Katharina Schiessl.

Plants form unique organs, and here, we dive into signal perception, hormone regulation, and organ development of three structures: root-knot gall, rhizobia nodule and haustorium

I’m thrilled to announce that my first paper as a supervisor has been published! Supervision was done 100% online (different countries), which was particularly challenging, but it definitively paid off.
Thanks Sophia for all the hard work!
