One of my absolute highlights being presented at the #IS-MPMI2025 congress this year. Congratulations to everyone involved.
📣 Massively proud of this ⬇️ great study, led by the brilliant @mesny.bsky.social surprisingly uncovering that many pathogen effectors stem from ancient antimicrobials 🤯 #EffectorWisdom #EvoMPMI
📣 NEW PREPRINT 📝
We identified evolutionary origins of many fungal effectors!
We show that fungi secrete lots of antimicrobial proteins, and that some of them were repurposed by plant pathogens for host immune suppression.

Most of this adminstration’s initiatives will undermine health, jeopardize farmers’ livelihoods, and exacerbate hunger and suffering in the United States and abroad. Those cuts also will reduce scientific and legal expertise within government agencies.
With just 10 weeks in office, the Trump administration focused more on food policies than any previous administration. But most of those actions will likely make Americans hungrier and sicker.
