Excited about our paper in Phytopathology Research https://t.co/pi1HRIR4sr. We show that a secondary metabolite gene cluster in a fungal pathogen can possibly be associated with adaptation to one of its several host plant species. #Magnaportheoryzae #cerealblast #cropdisease

Preprint on Anand’s study revealing an amazing molecular secret between two organisms. Many thanks to - @India_Alliance @DBTIndia @ICMRDELHI @wellcometrust
New Preprint Alert! I'm excited to share our work (@tparth97, Harshita Panchal, @FungalBio) on inter-species interaction between Candida albicans and C. glabrata! It all started with a simple question during journal club: Why and how do these two species strike a harmony? 🧵1/6

How cool is this! Soil fungus uses a bacterial metabolite (produced endocymbiotically) to protect against nematodes! Bacterial endosymbionts protect beneficial soil fungus from nematode attack

Plant cell wall acts as a primary barrier for microbial pathogens during infection. A cell wall-degrading enzyme thus may be a crucial virulence factor, as it may aid the pathogen in successful host...

Your methods section might be obvious to *you* but not to others—get feedback from people outside your lab and think carefully about your audience

Excited about our manuscript accepted in one of the favorite journals ‘Molecular Microbiology’. Interestingly, we used a model pathogen but are not talking about pathogenesis in this work. 😊
