Check out our work on virulence on Pm4 controlled not by one, but two effectors! Avirulence vs. Suppression, a beautiful case of the arms race between wheat and mildew. Work led by @zoebernasconi.bsky.social , Aline Herger, Pilar Caro, and @lukas-kunz.bsky.social 😍🌱🦠!

Virulence on Pm4 kinase-based resistance is determined by two divergent wheat powdery mildew effectors
The wheat resistance gene Pm4 encodes a kinase fusion protein and has gained particular attention as it confers race-specific resistance against two major wheat pathogens: powdery mildew and blast. He...

Grateful to Benjaming Jaegle for the trust, & co-authors for their collaboration!
k-mer-based GWAS in a wheat collection reveals novel and diverse sources of powdery mildew resistance - Genome Biology
Wheat genetic resources hold the diversity required to mitigate agricultural challenges from climate change and reduced inputs. Using DArTseq, we genotype 461 wheat landraces and cultivars and evaluat...
