If I were an Early Career Researcher (#ECR) today, I wouldn’t join a lab that doesn’t #preprint (the PI agreed to keep paying me until my paper is finally published). It now takes ages to get papers through peer review, and without preprints you’re putting your future in someone else’s hands.

Machine learning reveals biocontrol agents shaping disease outcome in natural Arabidopsis populations - Nature Communications

Plants can recruit beneficial microbes to suppress pathogens, offering a route to rational biocontrol beyond empirical screening. Here, the authors use machine learning to identify disease-associated ...

Super proud to see this preprint out! We found that a conserved fungal protein family has ancient antimicrobial activity 🍄‍🟫 I loved working on this evolutionary side of plant pathogenicity together with my coauthors. Preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 👇 or see the 🧵 here

Team Thomma@teamthomma.bsky.social · last wk.

📣 New preprint! 🧵 Fantastic work led by @antonkraege.bsky.social Fact: Cerato-platanins are everywhere in fungi. Found across the fungal kingdom, implicated in everything from development to virulence to immune activation. But what do they *actually* do? We finally found the answer 👇

After spending four blissful days in Croatia and acquiring a sizeable set of scratches and bruises from snorkling around sharp rocks, I'm finally heading to the International Association for Lichenology congress in Trieste! 10 years since the last in-person IAL, this is going to be a blast! #IAL10

Sea view of Rovinj, Croatia. The sun just set and the sky is bright orange fading into deep blue. The see has some small waves reflecting the light. In one side we can see the town climbing up a steep hill. Nothing much can be see in the darkness, except for brightly lit patios of bars and restaurants

Gestern Dreh, heute online. Ein kurzer Bericht über unsere Arbeit hier in Freiburg im Rahmen des @ensa-research.bsky.social Projekts und in Kooperation mit @cibss.bsky.social. Danke an @henrietteruebsam.bsky.social und das ganze Team für die Koordination und Mithilfe. www.swr.de/swraktuell/b...

Weniger Erdgas und CO2: Wissenschaftler forschen an Bakterien-Pflanzen-Symbiosen

Kunstdünger braucht viel Erdgas und schadet Klima und Gewässern. Forschende in Freiburg wollen, dass Nutzpflanzen sich mithilfe von Bakterien selbst mit Stickstoff versorgen.

Excited to see our new preprint on bioRxiv! 🌱🤖 We used AI protein design (RFdiffusion + ProteinMPNN) to build brand-new sensor domains from scratch and installed them in a rice NLR immune receptor engineering recognition of a Fusarium effector FoSSP17

@yuxuan-xi.bsky.social · 4w ago

Our new preprint is out! Using AI-guided design (RFdiffusion + ProteinMPNN), we engineered a plant immune receptor to recognise non-cognate pathogen effectors. Huge thanks to our amazing co-authors for making this possible! doi.org/10.64898/202...
