Slowly but surely I am clearing the backlog of manuscripts from my lab. Today I submitted to New Phytologist our story on the appressorium like structure which we call an expressorium that enables grass endophytes to colonise from inside the grass to the outside. The term expressorium was coined by Matthias Becker. I really like the term so I hope the referees do as well. This manuscript is jam packed with awesome TEM, SEM and confocal images taken by Matthias and Yvonne - 14 in total in the main and 8 in the supplementary.
Today I received the good news that Matt Nicholson's manuscript describing two new gene clusters for penitrem and janthitrem biosynthesis in Penicillium has been accepted for publication. Great to see that one ticked off given the work started around 2006.
Now on to Yonathan's PacC and Kimberly's Idc manuscripts.
Hi Barry,
ReplyDeleteI've been retired too long now to keep up with what you are doing but I was excited reading this post on the endophytes. Congratulations. One of my concessions to retirement is to maintain some interest by photographing NZ fungi. They make for frequent stops in the bush! I've enjoyed reading your posts from Marburg.
Cheers
Barry Smith
