The first of the two #preprints that Gwendolyn Kirschner
and I discuss in a @preLights article (https://prelights.biologists.com/highlights/cell-polarity-linked-to-gravity-sensing-is-generated-by-protein-translocation-from-statoliths-to-the-plasma-membrane-amyloplast-sedimentation-repolarizes-lazys-to-achieve-gravity-sensing-in-plants/) is now published in @ScienceMagazine:

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.

This is a very good Review on plant receptor kinase signaling from Kyle Bender & Cyril Zipfel, including 5 critical gaps in our understanding of how they function. I agree especially with #5, how specificity is achieved in downstream events.
And I also really appreciate the referencing of primary research papers instead of more reviews. 👍

It doesn't cease to amaze me that it sometimes works to make a complex crop plant like the banana resistant against a dangerous pathogen - simply by introducing an Arabidopsis thaliana immunity gene such as EFR. Cool work by Leena Tripathi
from IITA Kenyatta University in Nairobi, Kenya, in cooperation with Cyril Zipfel. 👍

It's great to see more & more objective, fact-based reporting on #GMOs and GM plants in particular, in German media. 👍
Great job @deutschewelle.
"We have 30 years of safety information showing that GM food is completely safe to eat, and 30 years of information showing it's not dangerous for the environment"

🤔 Did you know that @AnnBot is managed by a not-for-profit educational charity? The Annals of Botany Company was established to promote plant science worldwide.

Here is my #postLight to accompany the #preLight I had written about the fantastic #Pikobodies #preprint by @JiorgosKourelis and @ClemMarchal et al. from @KamounLab. 👇
