Carl Mesarich

🌱 Join us tomorrow for the seminar "Activation and circumvention of disease resistance by fungal pathogens of apple and tomato" by Carl Mesarich (@C_H_Mesarich) from Massey University (@MasseyUni) at 11:00h! 👀 Don't miss it! 📍 CRAG Auditorium 👉 f.mtr.cool/ipiiqwvruf

26 years after I planted a #kauri sapling on #Waiheke Island 😍

Ancient MAX Effector Variants of a Fungal Pathogen Evade Apoplastic Immunity in Apple biorxiv.org/content/10.648… #biorxiv_micrbio

Plz RP. Come join us as (soon-to be) postdoc @slcuplants @Cambridge_Uni to study effector-targeted plant processes impacting plant cell biology and development. cam.ac.uk/jobs/post-doct… schornacklab.net

PaRXLR40, a broad cell death suppressor of the kauri dieback pathogen Phytophthora agathidicida, targets a plant ARM/BTB ... biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_molbio

Conserved 'late' effector genes from Leptosphaeria maculans inducing gene-for-gene quantitative resistance in Brassica napus ... biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_plants

New research led by Christiaan Schol showing that the Ecp5 effector of Fulvia fulva is Avr6! Congrats to all co-authors!🍅

🌲 Pines vs. pathogens! New research finds pine trees can detect shared proteins from unrelated pathogens, activating immune responses across species. A leap for forest health! 📖 buff.ly/gvF58Vt #PlantScience #Forestry #Biosecurity #TreeHealth

Happy to welcome Keith Thorburn and Ashleigh Mosen to our @BioprotectionNZ team @MasseyUni! Both will be working on PhD projects related to the identification & functional characterization of avirulence effectors in the #AppleScab fungus, Venturia inaequalis 🍏🍎

Great review of fungal effectors Structure‐guided insights into the biology of fungal effectors - Le Naour‐‐Vernet - New Phytologist - Wiley Online Library nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Molecular investigation of Rlm3 from rapeseed as a broad-spectrum resistance gene against fungal pathogens producing structurally ... biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_plants

Could we identify broad-spectrum resistances able to recognize structural families of effectors? During her PhD, Nacera Talbi demonstrated proof of concept with the Rlm3 resistance protein, which can recognize members of the LARS structural family. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super happy to share this: A recombinant, interspecific hybrid of two fungal maize pathogens helps us to understand how effector gene regulation determines infection style and tumorigenesis. Huge congrats to @janinawern and everyone involved! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New preprint! I always wondered: How much diversity do pathogens have within a single field? This important to assess the risk of resistance breakdown or spread of fungicide resistance . Together with colleagues from BASF we looked into this. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Looks like Rvi12, the third major apple scab resistance gene to be cloned, encodes an RLK :onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/tp…

I am excited to share the first chapter of  doctoral dissertation. Have you ever wondered how is time-of-day information integrated into the immune response? We did! A thread 1/13

Excited to share our latest preprint! We've sequenced over 500 isolates from New Zealand's Psa3 population as part of ongoing genome biosurveillance efforts 🧬🦠🥝 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now published in Plant, Cell & Environment! 🌿 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…

🚨Internship Opportunity!🚨 We're looking for a motivated Master’s student to join our lab! 🔬🌱 Join us if you're passionate about molecular plant-pathogen interactions 📍 Angers (France) @IRHS_Angers 📅 6 months in 2025 👇For application shorturl.at/2UEx8
