Virulence and signalling mechanisms are regulated by the length of the 3' ends of mRNAs in the rice blast fungus
The results derived from the study carried out by the research groups of Dr. Ane Sesma and Dr. Mark Wilkinson at the CBGP-UPM demonstrate how the variation of the 3 'ends of mRNAs of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae can alter the biology of the fungus.

Genetic diversity analysis of cultivated and wild grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) accessions around the Mediterranean basin and Central Asia
The CBGP group “GENETIC AND MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF CROP NATURAL VARIATION ”, in collaboration with researchers from University of Davis and USDA, CA (USA), University of Milan (Italy), University of Georgia, Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, Institute for Adriatic Crops (Croatia) and INRA, Montpellier, (France), has recently published the origins of the domesticated grapevine. This is the first time that the results support at least two separate domestication events that gave raise to cultivated grape; one derived from the Transcaucasian wild grape and another from the wild grape of Western Europe.
