@talbotlabtsl.bsky.socialWith my PhD supervisors Alan Coddington (now 92!) and Richard Oliver (a little younger!) #PPATH2026
@talbotlabtsl.bsky.socialDeveloping Epichloë endophytic strains to provide protection to wheat from insects and fungal diseases, building on its success in ryegrass where the majority in New Zealand is not protected from insect herbivory in this way. Richard Johnson #PPATH2026
@kamounlab.bsky.socialLaunching Ventures: Strategy, Story and Scale 🚀
An exciting #BSPP26 session with Wild Bio, PfBIO, @GetGenome and @ResurrectBio—exploring funding, IP, team-building, governance and turning research into real-world impact
@talbotlabtsl.bsky.socialDavid Collinge on innovative biological control interventions to protect against Fusarium head blight #PPATH2026
@kamounlab.bsky.socialAnd now it's the #BSPP26 RKS Wood Prize Lecture by Professor Nick Talbot! 🎓🌾🍄 #PPATH2026 www.bspp.org.uk/bspp-2026-rk...
@talbotlabtsl.bsky.socialFascinating structure-guided analysis of NRC network activation dynamics and how sensor-helper NLR interactions lead to resistosome formation in plant immunity @mpcontreras.bsky.social #PPATH2026
@kamounlab.bsky.socialYou saw the poster—now hear the talk!
Mauricio Contreras @mpcontreras.bsky.social with Maian @maigarro.bsky.social and AmirAli @amiralito.bsky.social reveal the hidden handshake between sensors and helpers in the NRC network 🤝🌱
@kamounlab.bsky.socialIt’s raining cryo-EM structures! 🌧️🧬
Mauricio Contreras @mpcontreras4 et al. at #BSPP26 #PPATH2026
@kamounlab.bsky.socialBoyoung Kim from the lab of Chang-Sik Oh on the effectors of the cucurbit pathogen Paracidovorax citrulli—both AVRs and immune suppressors 🦠🥒🍉
Wonderful to see our Korean colleagues joining us at #BSPP26 @bspp.bsky.social
See you in Jeju!
@kamounlab.bsky.socialTaxonomists now call it Tobamovirus fructirugosum but the virus itself—tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV)—remains a plague on the tomato industry. More resistance traits needed 🍅🦠
Great talks by Adrian Fox and Sergio de la Fuente #BSPP26 #PPATH2026 #PlantHealth
@parkergroup.bsky.socialNow: @federicalocci.bsky.social giving her talk on TIR proteins and their involvement in systemic immunity 🌱
Please find her at #BBSP2026 #PPath2026 for further discussion!
@kamounlab.bsky.socialUrooj Fatima @KAUST_News on how conserved rust fungal ligands trigger non-host resistance in cereal crops 🌾🍄
Exciting routes towards broader and more durable crop protection.
@gittacoaker.bsky.socialDiane Saunders addressing the breakdown of resistance of the Yr15 tandem kinase in the UK. Nice identification of promising germplasm from a landrace collection. #PPATH2026
@kamounlab.bsky.socialA fantastic @johninnescentre.bsky.social session at #BSPP26, showcasing an impressive range of pathosystems across wheat, legumes and brassicas 🌾🫘🥬
