Great to see this really cool story published in Nature! rdcu.be/e7UoR
Parker & Wang’s commentary, “A fellowship of the rings in plant defence”, provides further insights into the elaborate structures of NLRs formed during plant immunity. rdcu.be/e7UnA @nature.com @mpipz.bsky.social
This week we will hear @federicalocci.bsky.social (from @parkergroup.bsky.social, @mpipz.bsky.social) talk about "How not to die", workings of TIR-networks in damage and systemic resistance.

How do plants fight disease? 🌱 #NASmember Jane Parker studies NLR proteins that help plants sense attackers and launch powerful immune defenses. She shares her latest findings on how these proteins signal plants to resist disease in a new @pnas.org QnAs: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
The post shows a picture of Lara after successfully passing her viva on a green background with words congratulating her on acquiring the PhD title.
👏 Congratulations to Dr. Lara Van Dijck from Jane Parker’s lab @mpipz.bsky.social on successfully completing her PhD! Wishing you continued success ahead! 🎓🌱

🚨 New paper alert!
Our work is published in PNAS! @junli-wang.bsky.social @mpipz.bsky.social
In this study, we uncover how NLR-assembled and canonical Ca2+ ion channels cooperate to confer robust resistance against disease in plants.

Check out our new study! We show that Arabidopsis uses the EDS1-SAG101-NRG1 node to trigger rapid yet contained cell death. Key finding: NRG1C variant regulates this process by competing with functional NRG1s. Amazing collaboration between Jijie Chai and Parker Labs.
