There is still much to learn about HASTY! 🌿
In our latest study in Plant Communications, we identify HASTY as a key regulator of systemic immunity in Arabidopsis.

Salmon, suicidal plants and a 1-in-1000 coincidence - solving beer’s dirty secret [new paper!] There’s an ingredient in beer that most breweries don’t like to talk about: pesticides. The hops and barley that make beer are vulnerable to pests and diseases.

Hey Bluesky!

My background's in #plantgenetics & #plantpathology but spend more time at a desk than the lab bench these days.

I wrote about a paper we just published on looking to save hops from disease (& keep pesticides out of beer)

Plants counter with NLRs R2 & Rpi-mcq1, which guard both the pH regulator (StATP6V1C1) and its downstream target — a dual-layer decoy surveillance system.
A new arms race battlefield: intracellular pH homeostasis.

A really cool #PlantImmunity paper showing that the ubiquitin-binding protein RH3 recruits PTI & ETI receptors into one large complex via ubiquitin chains, linking these pathways.

Also goes well with this paper showing a link between BIK1 & NLRs via phosphorylation: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

An Arabidopsis leaf-infection assay with Alternaria alternata showing lesions on Col-0, defenseless (abi1-1 coi1 eds1 ein2 rbohD sid2) and cyp79b2b3 plants. The lesions are worst on cyb79b2b3, intermediate on the defenseless plant, and least on Col. Similarly, plants infected with Pseudomonas syringae show strongest susceptibility in an eds1 sid2 background, medium susceptibility in defenseless, and least in Col.

Abstract

For the past two years, I have been contemplating how best to write this review that not only reflects on a few significant and nostalgic moments in my more than three decades of professional career in the molecular plant-microbe interaction (MPMI) field, but also offers my personal outlook on the future aimed at inspiring young scientists to join this exciting discipline. Rather than a comprehensive overview, I would like to place greater emphasis on the “whys” and the “hows” than the “whats”. I finally decided to use technological advancements critical for the development of our field as a thread to connect the past with the future.
