New Preprint! We identified 20 new type II-secreted effectors from Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and show that they help bacteria feed and remodel plant cell walls during infection. Proud of my team at #ZMBP and collaborators for making this possible! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Happy to share our new paper in @dev-journal.bsky.social . This project started while I was at Stanford with @stanfordstomata.bsky.social and was completed at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social by @pablidopsis.bsky.social . Find it here: journals.biologists.com/dev/article/...

Big news from our lab: we can now stably edit the genome of a parasitic plant! Transgene-free, genome-edited P. japonicum in one generation! This will transform how we study #parasiticplants and other hard-to-transform plants. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Please share! We are looking for a postdoctoral scientist (2 years, extension possible) starting from 01/05/2026 at @ipbhalle.bsky.social! The project focuses on plant immune receptor biochemistry and structural biology. Deadline 09/03/2026. Apply at: ipb-halle.mhm.jobs/11-postdocto...

Our Mini-review is out now! Here we collect recent findings of RALF peptide functions, adress their (potential) roles in plant-microbe interactions and discuss the resulting emerging questions. Pls share! dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...

Congratulations to the winners of the 9th #ZMBP PhD Symposium awards 🥳🥳🥳 🥇Best chalk-talk Theresa Staps from @ericksonlab.bsky.social 🥇🥇 Best posters Mariam Ataulla (Lahaye lab) and Adrián Vojtaššák 🥇 Best oral presentation @frangordilloc.bsky.social, both from @isabelmonte.bsky.social's lab

Today Jessica @ericksonlab.bsky.social from the @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social at @unituebingen.bsky.social and me met in @stadtnuernberg.bsky.social to discuss an already fruitful collaborative project. Stay tuned..

And another @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social delegation just arrived in Cologne for the #2025MPMI Niels (P-041), @chia-nan.bsky.social (P-011), Pin-Jou (P-438), Yujing (P-027), Farid (P-063), @raphaelschaal.bsky.social (P-094) and @ericksonlab.bsky.social (P-169)

We're looking for a new PhD candidate to join the lab. Please share 🌱😄

We are happy to join the #plantscience community here in BlueSky! Follow us to know more about our research at the ZMBP @unituebingen.bsky.social in beautiful Tübingen

Excited to see our review now online on @theplantjournal.bsky.social where we talk about the regulation of timing of developmental events and the factors involved, at different spatial scales.🌱⏰ #TimingLab @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social
