According to a recent study by Hirofumi Nakagami at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) played a crucial role in the adaptation of plants to land. PTI is present in all vascular plants, including crops, and could aid in the development of more resistant plant species. #PlantImmunity #CropResilience #MaxPlanckInstitute

I highlighted the new #preprint from Xinnian Dong's lab for @preLights
My #prelights article:

"30-years of searching for the link between local infection and systemic acquired resistance: It’s been ROS all along!"

Resistance is...vital! From our June issue: Zheng et al. propose that The MAX2-KAI2 module promotes #SalicylicAcid-mediated #immune responses in #Arabidopsis. https://doi.org/10.1111/jipb.13463

Another great paper from the Niko Geldner, led by Yan Ma. The flg & SGN pathways activate similar signaling routes & produce similar outputs (MPKs, ROS, lignification), yet, they eventually achieve different things (immunity vs Casparian strip). How is this possible? Where does the specificity come from?
Well, MKKs fine-tune the pathways! 👌
Fantastic #PlantCellBiology !

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.

It's a little complex...
...with big impact!

Looks like one of my favourite #PrePrints is now published in Science:

Congrats to Jiorgos Kourelis, Clemence Marchal, et al. from Sophien Kamoun's Lab

Here's also the @preLights article I wrote on the #preprint back in 2021:
