First 👀 on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social, now online in @natureportfolio.nature.com Nature Communications: A structurally unique effector shared between vascular wilt fungi drives cotton and olive defoliation #Verticillium #Fusarium @lfaino.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Thrilled to see this finally out!! Our new work suggests #Starships helped #Colletotrichum acquire the genes needed to infect lupin. A glimpse into how fungal pathogens emerge through horizontal transfer and genome reshaping. biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #Fungi #Genomics #Pathogenicity #evolution

📣 Our latest story just dropped on bioRxiv:: A structurally unique effector shared between Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum is involved in cotton defoliation and virulence on other hosts www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 🧵
