Great talk by @teamthomma.bsky.social who shows that effectors have antimicrobial activities that are ancesteral - other functions within the host have evolved later on to suppress immunity in plants #2025ISMPMI

The closing talk is being delivered by Maria Harrison. Maybe showing my Cornell bias, but her work is amazing as is her mentorship (so I’ve heard).
Maria summarizes the progress and current state of the field of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: “the most important symbiosis in the world”.

Maria Harris closing #2025ISMPMI with the "most important plant-microbe interaction on earth".
CKL1 and CKL2 kinanses locate to the periarbuscular and plasma membranes during AMF symbiosis and their kinase activity is key for regulating downstream lipid biosynthesis.

@ajbogdanove.bsky.social closes out #2025ISMPMI with praise of collaboration, the great questions, and the excitement for the field.
Reminds that the “Rewind” option will allow folks to watch missed talks - watch your email.
Big thanks to local organizers, the program committee, and society staff!

#2027ISMPMI - Try 2 for Jeju, Korea!
Hope to see you there and I’m glad that South Korea gets to host after their turn was missed because of the pandemic.
There is a promise of good food 🤤
Though I may need to start saving up now with the state of things…
