Systematic discovery and engineering of synthetic immune receptors in plants Plants deploy a diverse array of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which perceive microbe-associated molecular patterns to activate immune responses. Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase subgr...

Very happy to share our latest work “Systematic discovery and engineering of synthetic immune receptors in plants” out in @science.org !

Oligosaccharide Elicitors in Plant Immunity: Molecular Mechanisms and Disease Resistance Strategies #review #PlantCommunications cell.com/plant-commun...

Warm temperature suppresses plant systemic acquired resistance by intercepting N‐hydroxypipecolic acid biosynthesis Elevated temperature impacts plant immunity at the primary infection site, but how it affects immune preparedness for future infections remains unclear. Here we report that warm temperature suppresse...

Today we report how plant immune preparedness against future infections is negatively intercepted by elevated temperatures! @theplantjournal.bsky.social #OpenAccess

Three-step biosynthesis of salicylic acid from benzoyl-CoA in plants - Nature The salicylic acid (SA) biosynthesis pathway—involving ligation of benzoyl coenzyme A and benzyl alcohol to give benzyl benzoate; hydroxylation of benzyl benzoate to give benzyl salicylate; and cleava...

Three back-to-back papers reveal salicylic acid biosynthesis via the PAL pathway! Unlike the old model (BA → SA via BA2H), SA forms from benzoyl-CoA & benzyl alcohol through BB & BS intermediates. One to three 😂😂😂

An optimized disease resistance gene cloning workflow for wheat - Nature Communications Gene cloning in wheat has long been hampered by its exceptionally large and complex genome, and long life cycle. Here, the authors report an optimized, high-throughput disease resistance gene cloning ...

Our paper "An optimized disease resistance gene cloning workflow for wheat" is now published in
@natcomms.nature.com! This workflow allows us to clone resistance genes rapidly.
