1/ It is my pleasure to share the latest preprint of the team: "Symbiotic diversification relies on an ancestral gene network in plants" doi.org/10.1101/2025... Here, we identified and functionally validated a novel master regulator of intracellular symbioses! A thread ... #PlantScience

A first dive in fern x pathogen interaction! More to come! Congratulations @baptistebio.bsky.social @jacquet-chris.bsky.social et al.!

~12 years after we coined it EPP1 with @oswaldovaldesl.bsky.social one afternoon when we were postdoc with @jeanmichelane.bsky.social! Congrats @melaniekrich.bsky.social @tatiana-vernie.bsky.social et al. for the hard work! EPP1 is the fourth member of the Common Symbiosis Pathway 🍄🌱!

So happy to see the latest preprint of the team out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... The continuation of a long standing project started by @oswaldovaldesl.bsky.social in @jeanmichelane.bsky.social‘s lab. 1/7 🧵

We’re thrilled to share our latest preprint! In this study we provide a mechanistic insight into how the protein EPP1 (first identified in Rose et al., 2012) functions in partnership with SYMRK. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... and www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Two papers to tell us more about mysterious EPP1, a protein required for symbiosis. Well done @tatiana-vernie.bsky.social and all co-authors.

Really glad to share this team work
