This was such a nice surprise! Our review about Aphelenchoides besseyi is in the top 10% of most-viewed papers published by the Plant Pathology in 2023! Please, check it out doi.org/10.1111/ppa.13829 @sebastianevda.bsky.social @uprogress.bsky.social

This is going to be huge 😅https://academic.oup.com/plcell/article/37/4/koaf050/8109904

Exciting: YNN, SON and APN working together to bring excellent NemaEvents later this year! Curious to know more? Follow us and stay tuned for updates! #Science #PlantPathology #Nematology #Nematodes

A beautiful Bursaphelenchus xylophilus trying to escape from a droplet! Cool, isn’t it? #Nematology #Plantdisease #PlantPathogens #Science

We are delighted to announce our upcoming seminar: "Nematode-Microbe Interactions" by Dr Olivera Topalović and PhD student Sandra Bredenbruch 🔬 Don’t miss it—register now!

Go SUGR-1 >> The SUbventral-Gland Regulator (SUGR-1) of nematode virulence | Funded by the EU 🇪🇺 | Kudos to all authors 💪

Paper Alert! @pnas.org We think nematodes break open plant cells, sense small molecule signals (termed effectostimulins), which switch on a master regulator SUGR1, which switches on effectors, which break cells. Looks like a feed-forward loop driving infection. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Very excited to see my first first-authored paper published in @pnas.org . We found the first regulator of effector production in plant-parasitic nematodes! Congratulations to co first author @clempellegrin.bsky.social and all other authors. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

New to bluesky - would appreciate a "retweet" please, so I can find everyone from twitter.

Join us in Ghent on June 14-15 for two days of Plant Vascular Development! A satellite meeting of ICAR2025. More info and registration at web.cvent.com/event/448810... . Spread the word! #PlantScience @bertderybel.bsky.social @apmahonen.bsky.social

Exciting data showed by Ana Zotta! She observed that +Mi virulent root-knot nematodes are related to several deletions (Even up to 1.2Mb!) across the genome. However, they come with a fitness cost!

Excellent talk by @B_Mol_ (Crop Science Centre - University of Cambridge) on the effector repertoire of Heterodera schachtii!

Reminder about our webinar tomorrow 15-16:15 CET on Advances in Bioinformatics. We’ll have two exciting talks by @B_Mol_ and @anazotta Join us on the link below: uni-bonn.zoom-x.de/j/6747936482... #Science #Nematology

We're excited to finally be on BlueSky! Follow us for all things nematodes - whether plant-parasitic or parasitic nematodes, free-living species, and more. Stay tuned for great nema-content!

I’m thrilled to announce that my first paper as a supervisor has been published! Supervision was done 100% online (different countries), which was particularly challenging, but it definitively paid off. Thanks Sophia for all the hard work! doi.org/10.1163/1568... #Nematology #PlantPathology

💡 My latest paper — where we undertake a polyphasic approach to characterize nematophagous fungi of the Esteya genus for the best-suited candidates for biocontrol of the #pinewood_nematode — is featured on the MedForest website. 📰 Find out more at medforest.net/2024/12/17/r...

Thank God bluesky is taking off among researchers.

I've updated this global surface air anomaly plot from CarbonBrief using ERA5 data. As stated by the ERA5 team, as of Sept 2024, 14 out of the past 15 months have been +1.5°C above pre-industrial conditions. 🧪🔌💡 #StopBurningFossilFuels
