This week at #17ECFG, our team shared findings on the C. graminicola effector CgEP4, which translocates to the nucleus and nucleolus and plays a key role in maize anthracnose. We captured beautiful microscopic images of its localization,a great achievement given the challenges of working with maize.

🌽 The maize pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola is shaped by long-distance gene flow and recombination, influencing its evolution and global spread.

Understanding these dynamics is crucial for disease management and crop protection.
