Our review on disease resistance gene diversity in Triticeae is finally online 🌾🌾! Gained so many insights writing it with Yinghui Li & Liubov Govta and from the guidance of gittacoaker.bsky.social & Tzion Fahima. Fascinated by plant resistance gene diversity—excited to share!

Our new paper is out in New Phytologist! We describe how the Ralstonia solanacearum effector RipAV suppresses plant immunity by directly interfering with key defense regulators. 🧵👇 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Big news from the Demirer lab: first 4 research papers are preprinted! Check them out, feedback welcomed: eCIS for plant protein delivery: tinyurl.com/mrx4d878 R2 for targeted insertion: tinyurl.com/5n73za6h Transient expression: tinyurl.com/38p2ud6w Chemotaxis assay: tinyurl.com/3nw9haes More ⬇️

How can we better understand the plant immune system? In my new @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social piece, I propose “immune cell states” as a framework for uniting molecular and cellular perspectives. www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Don't miss this awesome work of @yichangsung.bsky.social on plant tandem kinases (TKPs)!!

Happy to share our paper from a new research line led by @camolsan.bsky.social, where we engineered the T6SS of Pseudomonas putida to deliver effectors against bacterial competitors and fungal pathogens like Botrytis cinerea. @ihsmumacsic.bsky.social jbioleng.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

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. #TransientExpression #MolecularPharming

Happy to share a new preprint from the lab. We compared Nanopore long reads to Illumina short reads for use in assembly and population-level variant calling and genotyping. We were surprised by which approaches and pipelines were most accurate. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨 We’re hiring–please spread the word! 🚨 Our lab at @thesainsburylab.bsky.social is looking for a pre-doc intern to join our research on plant immunity. If you’re a current undergrad/master’s or recent graduate interested in gaining research experience, please apply! tatsuyanobori.com

Yes, well done 👏. The team shows that there are distinct bacterial populations that affect leaf growth of young leaves and repress plant defense genes. They also include a section on limitations of the study. All papers should include such a section, please.
