Nikolas and I just published our insights on CLEs in plant–bio interactions. Too short to cover everything, but we hope it gets you also excited about these peptides. Thanks to @newphyt.bsky.social for the opportunity

A novel pathosystem between Aeschynomene evenia and Aphanomyces euteiches reveals new immune components in quantitative legume root-rot resistance. Legumes are pivotal for sustainable agriculture, yet their productivity is hindered by soilborne pathogens such as Aphanomyces euteiches . This study introduces Aeschynomene evenia as a novel model to...

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
Excited to share my first preprint from my PhD! 🎉
We introduce a novel Aeschynomene evenia – Aphanomyces euteiches pathosystem to explore links between quantitative resistance and symbiosis in legumes. 🌱🔬

Three ARID proteins involved in chromatin remodeling PEAT complexes are targeted by the Ralstonia solanacearum effector PopP2 and contribute to bacterial wilt disease The Ralstonia solanacearum effector PopP2 is a YopJ family acetyltransferase. PopP2 is known to dampen basal immune responses by acetylating defensive WRKY transcription factors, and probably by targ...

Love uncovering effector virulence strategies! 😀
Our work on PopP2 targeting core components of the PEAT chromatin-remodeling complexes is now out @theplantjournal.bsky.social.
