#2025ISMPMI Wolf Frommer presents about the sweet secrets of Xanthomonas host plant interactions. Using this knowledge in a collaborative effort to generate Xanthomonas resistant rice varities for local producers.

I am looking for a (bio)chemist to join the lab and help us making affinity-based probes for proteases! The project is truly interdisciplinary with a strong computational chemistry component, peptide synthesis and plant biochemistry!
Text me if interested and please spread the word!

Very interesting slide design from Alvaro Pérez Quintero looking at repetitiveness in Xanthomonas oryzae - has geographic populations with little recombination. 🌾

Is high evolvilbility a higher risk for spreading as a pathogen? Asian strains moving into Africa are causing an epidemic.

Currently looking for a postdoc with experience in population genomics and epidemiology, to join our team at IRD, to study a bacterial epidemic in rice in East africa. Feel free to contact me for more information and forward to any qualified candidates
