Healing isn’t about eliminating stress- it’s about regulating it.
doi.org/10.1073/pnas...
Work led by @akanshaganguly.bsky.social reveals how plants carefully manage wound-induced stress (ROS) at the cellular level to activate organ regeneration.
Happiest New Year
Top, side and bottom view of the structure of the octameric WAI3 resistosome in wheat. Its unique channel structure and divergent CC domain configuration are also shown.
A new preprint involving the labs of @jonathandgjones.bsky.social and @kamounlab.bsky.social unveils the structure of the largest plant resistosome to date 🌱
The octameric WAI3 resistosome was found in wheat, but similar arrangements can be found in other plants 🌾

Biotic interactions Plenary: Jyothilakshmi Vadassery - how do plants tell when insects 🐛 are munching on them and how do they fight back? Rapid immune response ⛑️
#arabidopsis #icar2025 #omnomnom
#ICAR2025 Plenary 4 on biotic interactions with excellent talks by Hailing Jin, University of California Riverside, USA; Jyothilakshmi Vadassery, NIPGR, Delhi, India; and Yu-hang Chen, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
The Ca2+ Channel CYCLIC NUCLEOTIDE GATED CHANNEL13 (CNGC13) regulates systemic wound signalling and immunity against Spodoptera herbivory https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.16.660006v1
Nice talks to round out the 4th plenary session on biotic interactions at #icar2025 by Jyothilakshmi Vadassery and Yu-hang Chen on calcium signaling in herbivore- and bacterial-plant interactions. Roles for CNGC13/19 channels and ZAR1/Sr35 resistosomes in these systems, respectively.
Reflections from a great Arabidopsis meeting #ICAR2025

New year, new paper! Now published in @nature.com. We identified and characterised diverse immune cell states in plants under pathogen attack. My postdoc work in the Ecker lab at @salkinstitute.bsky.social. A thread (0/n)

Happy New Year
The big 4 of grant writing:
1. Credibility: The topic fits your expertise
2. Narrative: It's clear what is the problem, the solution, and why you’re the right person for it
3. Juicy details: Flex your mastery of the topic
4. The concept: You connect every part to the big question
@mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social are now accepting applications or fully-funded biology #PhD positions at the Max Planck Institute for Biology and Friedrich Miescher Laboratory. The new cohort starts September 2025.
