New OA Brief Comm: "Cross-kingdom RNA interference promotes arbuscular mycorrhiza development" rdcu.be/e72nc Symbiotic fungi forming widespread arbuscular mycorrhiza symbioses use cross-kingdom RNAi to silence plant genes and promote their colonization of host roots.

Happy to share our latest publication in the Weiberg Lab @ArneWeiberg : pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Here we uncovered how fungal argonautes regulate bidirectional cross-kingdom RNAi during infection of plants. Big thanks to @OberkoflerLor and everyone who was involved in the story.

Our Open Day event ended yesterday with the awarding of prizes. Congratulations to the prize winners @AnPoCheng (LSM Publication Prize), @ElianaMor4 (BioNa Early Career Award) and Wolfgang Enard @EnardHellmannWG (Teaching Prize) at the LMU Biocenter Open Day event🎉 #Innovation

Our story "A fungal RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is a novel player in plant infection and cross-kingdom RNA interference" is now out in @PLOSPathogens. Great thanks to all the people contributed in this project @ArneWeiberg @OberkoflerLor pse.is/5hv4au

Happy to share our latest mini review: Extracellular RNAs released by plant-associated fungi: from fundamental mechanisms to biotechnological applications #ExtracellularRNA rb.gy/1c42i

It was a pleasure to share our work and excitement for fungal extracellular vesicles and cross-kingdom RNAi at #2023ISMPMI - thanks to all the organizers for this awesome opportunity! #EVs #exRNA #phdlife

Super happy for joining the #2023ISMPMI with @OberkoflerLor and @ArneWeiberg . Great honor for winning the poster prize and really enjoyed sharing ideas with many advanced people here!
