Anika Damm wins David Miller Travel Bursary Award 2024

Congratulations to Anika Damm, who has been awarded a David Miller Travel Bursary.
Anika is one of two recipients this year of this rather competitive national award. The
award gives young plant scientists or horticulturists the opportunity to travel overseas
in connection with their careers.

Anika is studying for her PhD in Sebastian Eves-van den Akker’s group at the Crop
Science Centre. She will use the award to present her research at the ‘Parasitic
Helminths: New Perspectives in Biology and Infection’ conference in Hydra, Greece.
Her travel is also supported by a British Society for Plant Pathology (BSPP) travel
award.

Sonawala et al. describe how the HYP genes in plant-parasitic nematodes can harbour thousands of alleles. They elucidate the ‘rules’ underlying variation in the Hyper Variable Domain (HVD) of HYPs, and propose that these data are consistent with a mechanism of somatic genome editing, termed HVD-editing. Juxtaposed to this proposed hidden genetic diversity across its body, the accompanying confocal 3D projection of DAPI- and Phalloidin-labelled pre-parasitic Heterodera schachtii visualises the heterogeneity of the internal tissues.
