New preprint out! 🚀
biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
We mapped how septins organise infection in the rice blast fungus—and found they are far more dynamic than previously thought.

Peer-reviewed version of our study led by @AliceEseola first seen on @biorxivpreprint showing the exquisite level of control of organelle trafficking & autophagy exerted during plant infection by the blast fungus. Thanks to all co-authors.

A new study from our group, led by @iris_eisermann , of the septin interactome during appressorium development, revealing many new interactors and significantly widening the biological function of septins in fungal pathogenesis. 👇 @TheSainsburyLab

This rewiring is functionally important.
We identify septin-associated proteins linked to virulence, including Msi1 - a BAR-domain protein that localises at the appressorium base and is required for efficient infection.
Really grateful to all co-authors who made this possible 🙏

Excited to share our review in @CDDPress! We explore how cell death 💀 is regulated in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae and summarize its role in appressorium development. 🌾🍄🔬 @talbotlabTSL @TheSainsburyLab See the full review here: nature.com/articles/s41418-0…

It’s a wrap! The next two Molecular Biology of Fungi Meetings will be in Braunschweig @tuBraunschweig and Munich @TU_Muenchen co-organized by André Fleissner and Philipp Benz. Many thanks to Frank Kempken and his team @kieluni for the nice meeting in Kiel #MBF2024

Are you interested in nutrient transport and its regulation in arbuscular mycorrhiza symbiosis between plants and fungi? We are looking for two Postdocs for the ERC project SymbioticExchange: mpimp-golm.mpg.de/2772979/jo…
