A whole bunch of Assistants Features Editors from @theplantcell.bsky.social and @plantphys.bsky.social getting to know each other 💚 #PlantBio2025

#PlantBio2025. Be sure to stop by the ASPB booth in the exhibition hall to learn about the AFE program. We have more than 20 AFEs at the conference! 👉 The Plant Cell is accepting applications for Assistant Features Editors share.google/wqUgOmxQYW4u... Apply by September 15 #PlantBio

Excited to be in Milwaukee for the @plantphys.bsky.social editorial board meeting and Plant Biology conference #PlantBio25 🌿 Very grateful to the Plant Phys AFE program for this opportunity and looking forward to great discussions over the coming days!

Our paper is now online in Science Advances! Congrats @saskiahogenhout.bsky.social @johninnescentre.bsky.social and all coauthors! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

I am looking for a (bio)chemist to join the lab and help us making affinity-based probes for proteases! The project is truly interdisciplinary with a strong computational chemistry component, peptide synthesis and plant biochemistry! Text me if interested and please spread the word!

🎉 Exciting news during #2025ISMPMI Our AlphaFold sensor vs helper NLR paper is now published in @newphyt.bsky.social‬! Big thanks to the reviewers for their constructive feedback 🙏 📖 Check out the peer-reviewed version here 👇 🔗 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... bsky.app/profile/yusu...

After great talks at #2025ISMPMI on de novo design of pathogen protein binders for receptor engineering - perfect timing for this preprint from colleagues at the Centre de Biologie Structurale!

#2025ISMPMI 📣 In silico screening of PRR-epitope interactions is now possible! Here, we developed mamp-ml to predict their immunogenic outcomes without structural context. Let's accelerate engineering plant receptors for robust resistance! 🚀🌱 Small 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Very happy to share our preprint on heavy metal associated (HMA) domain-containing rice proteins bound by the rice blast MAX effector AVR-Pia! 🌾

Such a great evening with past and present members of the CIME team! #2025ISMPMI @phimresearch.bsky.social

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

Big thanks to everyone who stopped by my poster today at #2025ISMPMI! For those that missed it, you can check it out on Zenodo! zenodo.org/records/1588...

Looking forward to the start of #2025ISMPMI today! If you're interested in structural studies of effector/host target complexes, come talk to me! 🗣️ Talk: Thurs 17th 16:25 Concurrent session "Structure Informed Synthetic Biology: From Design To Function" 📄 Poster: P-212, Thurs 17th 13:30-15:15 🌱🦠
