This year’s @embo.org Workshop is held at the @viennabiocenter.bsky.social. Open to 120 participants, it is over-enrolled with 180 attendees! Thank you to the organizers @isabelmonte.bsky.social, Aino Komatsu, @moodytomato.bsky.social, and Liam Dolan for making this event possible. #EMBOplantEvo

So grateful to have been part of this piece — co-receptors never fail to surprise!
Fran @frangordilloc.bsky.social and I wrote this piece on one of our favorite topics: the evolutionary relevance of co-receptors for immune receptor transfer in #plants 🌱
#EvoMPMI #MPMI
Check also the beautiful paper by Zhang et al. on the PRR STOMR and discover what happened to its co-receptor 😱

Lost & found: Reconstituting PRR immune function through co-receptor transfer
@isabelmonte.bsky.social highlights work revealing cross-species co-receptor transfer can overcome restricted taxonomic functionality in rice, pointing to strategies for crop protection

Lost and found: Reconstituting PRR immune function through co-receptor transfer
Plant immune receptors hold great promise for engineering broad-spectrum disease resistance,
but their effectiveness is very limited by restricted taxonomic functionality (RTF).

Restoring fungal resistance in rice:
Identification of STOM, a fungal MAMP, and its receptor-co-receptor pair, STOMR/STOMRh. Evolutionary loss of functional STOMRh in monocots restricts immune recognition, while restoring it in rice reconstitutes defense

Very excited to see our @nikogeldner.bsky.social lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science!
(1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.

Using precise spatial and temporal analysis, researchers in Science provide insight into how bacteria around the root interact both with the plant and with each other.

Yesterday, we celebrated the 9th #ZMBP PhD Symposium, where our PhD students (and some from @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social) presented their work as chalk talks, posters and longer talks. Thanks everyone for the scientific discussions on #plantscience!
