How Plants are Learning to Spot Sneaky Bacterial Invaders
UC Davis scientists are using AI t help plants recognize a wider range of bacterial threats.
🌱 From UC Davis: UC Davis scientists used AlphaFold to reengineer plant immune receptors, expanding bacterial detection and improving resistance to wilt pathogens. (Gitta Coaker)

Thrilled to share our latest preprint! This work started during my PhD and was finished together with @jmadhuprakash.bsky.social. We found a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector that bridges a host TOL protein to activated NLRs to suppress immunity!
