- Reposted by Sebastian Eves-van den AkkerExcited this paper is finally published! We focused on the inner concave surface of LRR RKs to expand bacterial flagellin perception in plants. Selection indicates expanded perception is more common than previously thought. Experiments led by @jerrytli.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- New paper @natgenet.nature.com nature.com/articles/s41... Our most recent thinking on HYP effectors involves programmed shuffling of the parasite genome. This prompted us to review how and when organisms edit their own genomes In so doing, Vincent made two important discoveries... (1/3)
- Reposted by Sebastian Eves-van den AkkerPlz repost. Fresh Preprint led by @alexguyon.bsky.social When a pathogen pushes into a cell already occupied by a symbiotic fungus, things change. New membrane phospholipids at pathogen haustoria! This may impact immune receptor positioning & defense secretion. - And the roots are more resistant!

- Reposted by Sebastian Eves-van den AkkerProud to present the first data paper from the lab, published today in @pnas.org. We describe a new mechanism for CLE peptides as local symbiosis-amplifying signals, promoting plant interactions with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
