A new paper from the Lab of Frank Takken on the #Fusarium oxysporum Avr2 effector is out in the journal Molecular Plant Pathology. They show that Avr2 suppresses BIK1 function by preventing ubiquitination & membrane dissociation. Thus, BIK1 can't activate defense gene expression or RBOHD.

Out now! "This Focus Issue addresses not only how the plant endomembrane acts locally to mediate responses to microbes but, also, the importance of the plant endomembrane beyond the plant cell borders for cross-kingdom effects."

A short intro for #sciencemastodon migrants and pioneers. I’ve worked in #cropscience for the last decade and until very recently ran an impact-focussed multidisciplinary lab working in the area of #mpmi - mostly pathogens with some work on symbionts. Some offshoots in the area of modelling and microbial fermentation. Always trying to make biology more quantitative. I was at NIAB (Cambridge and East Malling), but recently moved to #wageningen to be their MD of Plant Sciences which is great!
