Happy to share my postdoc project at the UCD plant pathology seminar!

@yichangsung.bsky.social gave a great talk on tandem kinases for the UC Davis Plant Path seminar.

@charisramsing.bsky.social gave a great seminar on Clavibacter for UC Davis’ Plant Pathology Department today. New insights into tomato colonization and effector recognition. #MPMI

1st time being a plenary speaker! Thanks for the invitation from @plantpathpete.bsky.social and @williamsanu.bsky.social to the Stromolo Conference 2025, sharing my recent findings on plant tandem kinases! Good to visit Canberra again after my PhD!

Registrations for the Stromlo Plant Pathogen Conference #StromPath25 are rolling in fast and the program is now full! Exciting lineup from Japan, Korea, USA, UK, NZ + strong local crew. Join us in Canberra — rego open until Nov 13. Program available here tinyurl.com/3e3tx9j2

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!

Registrations are rolling in for the 2025 Stromlo Plant Pathology meeting in Canberra (Nov 27–28)! Secure your spot! Speakers: @yasukadota.bsky.social, Cecille Segonzac, @thamlab.bsky.social, @yichangsung.bsky.social, Tek Tay & @danielsyu.bsky.social. Register at tinyurl.com/3e3tx9j2 #strompath25

Submitted my first NIH grant proposal ! 🤞🤞🤞

Excited this MS is out! Here, we genome edited Pire in tomato, a conserved E3 ligase controlling NADPH oxidase accumulation in Arabidopsis. Edited lines exhibited enhanced resistance to foliar bacterial pathogens, but not two root colonizing pathogens. #PlantImmunity academic.oup.com/plcell/artic...

👀 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...

Paper submitted! One of the last in @jerrytli.bsky.social’s stellar PhD.

Phoebe Sinner and @yichangsung.bsky.social presented their work on vector borne effectors and Tandem Kinase Proteins @ucdavis.bsky.social host microbe interactions meeting. Great job by both!!

Our Research Briefing on the tandem kinase proteins paper is online now! Curious about the story behind our TKP paper? 📄 Research Briefing: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 📄 Research article: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Story behind our recent paper on tandem kinases is out! Written by @yichangsung.bsky.social. #MPMI #PlantBiology www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌾 Excited to share our research on plant tandem kinase proteins (TKPs)! It’s been fascinating to explore how TKPs interplay effectors to activate plant immunity. Big thanks to my supervisor @gittacoaker.bsky.social, my undergrad student Suji Baik, and our collaborators—it's truly a team effort!

I'm very excited our most recent work on plant tandem kinases (TKPs) has finally been published! TKPs are a fascinating protein family conferring disease resistance to fungi. Originally in bioRxiv. Many thanks to @yichangsung.bsky.social for leading this work. 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
