Now we have Chih-hang Wu @IPMBSinica Taiwan 🇹🇼 at #PPATH2025 — Fast and Furious: What happens after helper NLR immune receptors are activated to cause hypersensitive cell death. See paper doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Connections are in action in Cologne! At #2025ISMPMI, the poster sessions aren’t just about groundbreaking research—they’re about meeting peers, collaboration, and sharing ideas that move plant-microbe science forward. Full poster hours here: bit.ly/44LqCvc #plantscience #networking

It was an amazing sciences day at #2025ISMPMI! Right after the “Population, biology, ecology and genomics” session, I had the opportunity to have lunch and discuss about this topic with the co-chair @honour.bsky.social

Great pleasure hosting @fuquaclay.bsky.social visiting IPMB, Academia Sinica. Enjoy scientific discussion, casual chatting over delicious meals and outing. #Agrobacterium #Taiwan

Happy to share a new publication on a collaboration with Xindan Wang and @fuquaclay.bsky.social labs. We identified and characterized naturally occurring Agrobacterium strains with fused chromosomes. Did mobile genetic elements play a role in fusion? journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Interesting MS on Agrobacterium cooperation and antagonism as well as development of dual binary system that mitigates plant immune antagonism. www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Happy to write this News & Views highlighting a groundbreaking study on #Agrobacterium. By combining mathematical modelling with quantitative live-cell imaging, the study uncovered a density-dependent synergistic and antagonistic effect on #AMT

👀 EFR-mediated PTI restricts transient transformation and genome editing, but not T-DNA integration. This study combines floral stage targeting 🌷, immune evasion 🛡️, and Agrobacterium engineering 🔧 to boost plant genome editing efficiency. #Agrobacterium #GenomeEditing www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Nice preprint from Erh-Min Lai's lab. "By integrating floral stage selection, immune evasion, and Agrobacterium engineering, this study provides a practical and versatile platform to advance plant genome engineering." vhttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.05.07.652770v1

Tweeps, please spread the word. We're still looking at recruiting a structural biologist (any level) to study plant-pathogen protein complexes especially in the context of coevolution. Direct inquiries welcome. Please include a cover letter. Applicant from US welcome? medium.com/@kamounlab/2...
