Below-ground tissues of Capsicum annuum respond to conserved bacterial peptides with pattern-triggered immunity | microPublication

Excited to share the latest microPublication from my mentee Morgan Murff (incoming PhD@UGA!) looking at root responses to bacterial MAMPs in pepper roots. Contrary to previous findings, Morgan showed that roots of some pepper varieties do respond to csp22(Rsol). 🌱

Really excited to have this new capability at UGA thanks to the support of the NSF! The Eclipse XRM-910 Micro-CT from Sigray Inc., will allow us to create 3D models of plant tissues from a series of 2D X-ray images, preserving the original sample. #plantbio #glycotime 🧪

Transcriptome dynamics in the Arabidopsis male germline during pollen–pistil interactions Here we present a detailed study on transcriptome reprogramming of Arabidopsis sperm cells and vegetative nucleus during pollen tube growth on plate (in vitro) and when passing through the pistil (se....
