Our new review in COPB shows how single-cell + spatial omics are revealing specialized immune cell states, modular NLR sensor–helper circuits, and epigenetic/RNA tuning that shape durable resistance. Congrats to Doni, Oliver, Yiqing & Ujjal www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Honor to host Robin Buell this Friday at 2:30 pm for @clemsongenbio seminar. Robin is the member of the National Academy of Sciences, Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar Chair in Crop Genomics, Professor of Crop & Soil Sciences @UGA. She is the Director of The Plant Center. DM me for a zoom

Department Seminar | Friday, Jan 30 | 2:30 PM ET Join me this Friday for a Genetics & Biochemistry seminar. I’ll cover how we’re using spatial technologies to resolve coding and non-coding RNAs across systems, including diverse plants, mouse brain, and host–microbe interactions. DM for a zoom link.

Join us for my webinar to see how true single-cell spatial transcriptomics can be applied to plants including Arabidopsis, duckweed, soybean and sunflower to detect host and microbial coding (and non-coding) RNAs.🗓 Thursday, February 5 🕚 2:00 PM ET 👉 RSVP: lnkd.in/gkSBfvdS

Jones and Dangl” lock — what are the odds? Jeff says he doesn’t know about it. Whether it’s “JJ” @jonathandgjones.bsky.social or someone else, it’s a fitting tribute to the duo that gave us the zigzag model back in 2001. Jeff got this pic from @derekseveri.bsky.social #2025ISMPMI #PlantImmunity

We are hiring! If you have experience in plant genomics + AI, or promoter engineering + synthetic biology, check out our two open postdoc positions (computational + wetlab): www.vandepoelelab.be/Jobs please re-share RT #ERC

We lost a Grangle family member, a friend, and a visionary scientist. “A note from Jeff Dangl: John McDowell was a former MPMI Editor and great membr of our community and that it is apt that his memory be recognized at the current #2025ISMPMI nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

During yesterday’s free afternoon from #2025ISMPMI, we revisited the Rhine River — a place filled with memories from our first date @tigertrails.bsky.social 22 years ago. To another 50 years….

The legacy of the Dangl/Grant “Grangl” Lab lives on at #2025ISMPMI — generations of scientists, one shared origin story, countless discoveries. 🌱🧪 #Grangllab #PlantScience #MentorImpact

And so it begins — #2025ISMPMI in the name of Jeff and Sarah! Long live the legacy of #GrangleLab! 🔬🌿

Ready for #2025ISMPMI in Cologne with @tigertrails.bsky.social ! Excited to connect, share, and see some cool data 🍚🔬🌱 #MPMI #PlantMicrobeInteractions #Cologne

Enjoyed a beautiful boat trip organized by #ICAR2025 — great views and great company while exploring the charming city of Ghent!

Now in Workshop 6: „Single-Cell Transcriptome and Spatial Biology“ set up by @smukhtarlab.bsky.social and Ceyhun Kayihan with Leonie Luginbuehl @lluginbuehl.bsky.social Univ. of Cambridge, UK, on single cell analysis to investigate cell-type specific transcriptional control of C4 photosynthesis !

Join us at 2:00 PM in Workshop 6: Single-Cell Transcriptome and Spatial Biology! 📍 Location: Kraakhuis Check out the lineup of speakers. Let’s explore the frontiers of cellular resolution together! 🧬✨ #SingleCell #ICAR2025

Quick trip to NC—great to catch up with Jeff Dangl and Sarah Grant! Always inspiring conversations. Looking forward to reconnecting at MPMI and continuing the long-standing Grangl lab dinner tradition in Cologne! 🌱✈️🍽️ #PlantScience #MPMI2025 #GranglTradition
