Thank you! I didn’t try yet (lack of time). But if you have any interesting targets we can have a chat :-)

And many other things that you can find at the first link!

A big, big, big thank you to all the co-authors of this study and our funding agencies @villumfonden.bsky.social and DTU Biosustain.

In addition, we have found that
- Fungal chemotropism correlates well with yeast mating (measured in diploid frequency).
- Fusarium oxysporum signaled robustly across different abiotic factors, while other fungal GPCR–pheromone interactions were more sensitive to changes

Our study revealed that the supplementation of peptides, identified through screening with YeMaP, can interfere with the cell-cell communication of the phytopathogenic fungus Fusarium oxysporum, reducing roots penetration in the early stage of infection of tomato.

Here, we have developed a tool called Yeast Mating Platform (YeMaP). With YeMaP, we can isolate fungal G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and study the interaction with their ligand (in yeast) in a much faster (high-throughput) way.

Suppose we can understand how fungi “talk” to each other at the molecular level. In that case, we can start designing more precise and targeted antifungal strategies that protect crops without relying on fungicides

A big thank you.

Best tattoo ever!
