Proud to share two papers published today in Nature journals!
Avni et al. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
Bekele et al. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Representing years of collaboration within the global oat community, they provide new insight into oat genome diversity and structure.

The fungal effector ToxB essentially hijacks the plant's innate immune system through recognition by a neofunctionalized Exo70-like protein. @Gurmnder_Singh @amandawheatgene @zhhliu2004 @acharya_krish87 @kadian11pooja @KLDRunning @PfaffTiana_7 @Shengmi06181681
Tan spot is a persistent challenge for U.S. wheat growers—but ARS scientists are helping to change that. Researchers at the ARS Cereal Crops Improvement Research Unit in Fargo, ND, and collaborators @NDSU have pinpointed a specific wheat gene that makes plants vulnerable to the costly fungal disease.
Their discovery shows that removing this gene by either traditional breeding or gene editing can boost a plant’s natural resistance.

Fantastic work by @Gurmnder_Singh leading this work for his PhD dissertation. It was fascinating to discover a neofunctionalized Exo70-like protein exploited by a fungal pathogen to cause disease.
I’m happy to share that our work on the wheat Tsc2 gene is now published in Nature Communications! @FarisGenLab @USDA @NatureComms @NDSU @NDSUPlantPath @NDSUPlantSci
