Our results indicate that mp10 is acting at the interface of PTI/DTI and ETI to manipulate plant immunity

We are excited to share our latest preprint from the Hogenhout lab (@matteogravino.bsky.social @saskiahogenhout.bsky.social , @johninnescentre.bsky.social ) on plant-aphid interactions, showing that the aphid effector Mp10 balances suppression of DAMP responses and activation of ETI via EDS1.

🌿Wielding genomics to understand disease vectors: Study uses Proximo & @pacbio.bsky.social to create #chromosome -level #genome assemblies of psyllids, shedding light on pathogen transmission. Congrats Heaven, @tom-mathers.bsky.social @samtmugford.bsky.social & team! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

...recognised as the primary vector of 'carrot yellows' by carrot growers in Northern Europe. This research provides valuable insights into the evolution of psyllids and their interactions with phytopathogenic bacteria. Ultimately, this will lead to more effective pest management strategies. 🌱

Our preprint is now live! We have sequenced the genomes of three psyllid species. These insects pests transmit devastating plant diseases like 'zebra chip' in potatoes and 'carrot yellows' in carrots. 🥕 #MolecularEntomology #MPMI #PlantPathology #psyllids #liberibacter

Here's a figure I made this year for Rutgers entomologist, Cesar Rodriguez Saona. Cranberry false blossom disease (phytoplasma-caused disease) affects both host plant & herbivore traits. In short, diseased plants attract more herbivory, which worsens losses from disease alone. #SciArt 🕷️🧪🌱🧬🎨🐡

We're happy to present a pre-print from the Hogenhout lab (@saskiahogenhout.bsky.social), describing how a family of proteases in aphid oral secretions suppress plant immunity.

Hi, BlueSky! Thanks for the warm welcome 😊

We’re delighted to share our latest preprint from the Hogenhout lab (@saskiahogenhout.bsky.social) on the molecular mechanisms on plant-aphid interactions. Here we show how the aphid Mp10 effector protein acts as a local anaesthetic to suppress the plant perception of aphid attack
