Forests face escalating threats from pathogens due to climate change & global trade. Yet forest pathology lags behind crop science in understanding microbe-host dynamics at the molecular level. Why? We lack the model systems that revolutionized plant pathology.

5/ The expedition didn’t end in the field. Most of the team then travelled to 🇿🇦 to join the Mycobiomics meeting at #FABI, continuing discussions & strengthening international networks in fungal research @ms-fungi.bsky.social @funguscrous.bsky.social @nerimanyilmaz82.bsky.social

4/ From forest floors to lab benches to conference halls, this collaboration is a powerful reminder of how global partnerships drive science forward, especially in uncovering the hidden world of fungi. 🍄💡

3/ Each day ended with lab sessions: processing samples, exchanging techniques, and diving deep into the shared passion for fungal diversity. These moments of collaboration were as valuable as the time in the forest. 🔬💬✨ @ms-fungi.bsky.social @helmholtzhzi.bsky.social

Climate change is stressing our forests, fungal allies may turn into pathogens. Are we ready for this?

Forests are under increasing pressure from climate change, pests & pathogens. This paper is a call to action to develop a forest pathology molecular model system to study the fundamental mechanisms of these interactions. We propose a framework for it.

Diplodia sapinea a pine endophyte lives a harmless life until the tree is dying... Climate change is stressing trees and turning harmless fungi into pathogens. How? It is not clear, new tools to study them are needed, check work by Anne Oostlander of TU Braunschweig journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...
