NEWS - “Replanting Barberry in woodlands, gardens and areas away from arable land would ensure we provide vital habitat for the endangered Barberry Carpet moth, whilst limiting its potential impact on enhancing rust pathogen diversity” @Saunders_Lab okt.to/YuHXjX
Mark your calendars. Join us at ICPP meeting in Boston @EricNazareno @PeterVanesse @globalrust @bluessherpa @MatthewMoscou #rustfungi #community work
Feel like joining an enthusiastic team to work on rust-fungi and come up with solutions for these critical pathogens? The 2Blades group at TSL is hiring. Join the fun @2Blades: 2blades.tsl.ac.uk/vacancies.html

Rust hunting in Brasilia with @yogesh23gupta. Beautiful symptoms, is it Coleosporium plumeriae? @patomolec
Annika Scheynius on the turning point from commensal to pathogen in Malassezia. It’s closest relatives are the rusts and smuts #Fungal17
Diane Saunders: "Field pathogenomics" can be used to assess pathogen populations directly in the field. #Fungal17
Last but not least: Cécile Lorrain on poplar rust effector localisation. #Fungal17 #FGCRust17
Mary Aime: There are a lot more evolutionary constraints on the Aecial host compared to Telial host #Fungal17 #FGCRust17
The staggering diversity and phylogeny of rust fungi elegantly explained by Mary Aime. #Fungal17 #FGCRust17
Mary Aime: Close relatives of rust have very small genomes (20-30 Mb). #Fungal17 #FGCRust17
Next up Mary Aime on rust phylogenetics. #Fungal17 #FGCRust17
Two more talks and then open discussion at the rust workshop! #Fungal17 #FGCRust17
C. ribicola RNAseq: ~1000 differentially expressed genes between infected Ribes leaves, Pine needles and pine stems. #FGCRust17 #Fungal17
Phil Tanguay on Cronartium ribicola the causal agent of White Pine blister rust. #FGCRust17 #Fungal17
Jun Goa on host induced gene silencing of a MAPKK that provides strong resistance against Stripe rust. #FGCRust17
Small secreted proteins, expressed differentially between larch (aecial host) and poplar belong to same multigene family. #FGCRust17
Does poplar-rust need different effectors to infect its aecial host, larch? #FGCRust17 #Fungal17.
