Jie Huang ( #PlantChemetics lab) and I wrote a dispatch on Zhang et al.'s work (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) describing a #protease effector that cleaves the extracellular domain of a plant receptor-like kinase, and it's none other than BAK1!

Enjoy!

Immunity gene silencing increases transient protein expression in Nicotiana benthamiana Click on the article title to read more.

Thrilled to see this out! 🎉 doi.org/10.1111/pbi....

🌿🧬 Silencing immunity genes boosts transient expression in Nicotiana benthamiana!

Congrats to all involved! A #PlantChemetics story first on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social, now in @PlantBiotechJ.

Bacterial pathogen deploys iminosugar galactosyrin to manipulate plant glycobiology The extracellular space (apoplast) of plants is an important molecular battleground during infection by many pathogens. We previously found that a plant-secreted β-galactosidase BGAL1 acts in immunity...

Have a pic to this valentines day preprint from the #PlantChemetics lab!
The apoplastic battleground never disappoints!
Congrats to Tee et al!
