The latest @kwsgroup.bsky.social #PlantScience R&D lecture was given by @kamounlab.bsky.social.

Sophien presented an overview of his lab's #EvoMPMI work, moving from computational prediction to lab validation & real-world application.

Great work on NLR bioengineering. 👏

Salicylic Acid and the unique TGA transcription factor controls plant immunity against Pseudomonas syringae in Marchantia polymorpha ABSTRACT. Land plants have co-evolved with microorganisms since its transition to a terrestrial habitat around 500 million years ago. In angiosperms, salic

OK that is really cool 👀 immediately sending to my students! 🌱🧪 #PlantSci #EvoMPMI #MPMI

Engineering the C-tail of the versatile Arabidopsis immune receptor RLP23 enhances pathogen resistance in rice and poplar!
Congrats to Andrea Gust and her group at #ZMBP 👏👏👏

Fran @frangordilloc.bsky.social and I wrote this piece on one of our favorite topics: the evolutionary relevance of co-receptors for immune receptor transfer in #plants 🌱

Check also the beautiful paper by Zhang et al. on the PRR STOMR and discover what happened to its co-receptor 😱

📣 Massively proud of this ⬇️ great study, led by the brilliant @mesny.bsky.social surprisingly uncovering that many pathogen effectors stem from ancient antimicrobials 🤯 #EffectorWisdom #EvoMPMI

Fave study and paper… #EvolutionRocks #EVOMPMI #EffectorWisdom 👇🏾

New cool preprint from @kenichitsuda.bsky.social lab!

"We demonstrate that the IC pathway, for SA biosynthesis, emerged within the Brassicales order in a time span between the divergence of Carica papaya and Capparis spinosa."

I probably should add a #TriggerWarning, since the paper in the first screenshot features the words #HigherPlants in the title. But please, dear #EvoDevo, #EvoMPMI, et al. community, this was acceptable speech in 1972. 😉
No need to retroactively cancel Fritz Kreuzaler and Klaus Hahlbrock.
