I highly recommend the #MBP2026 #PlantScience Meeting in Hennef, especially if you're an ECR or #NewPI trying to connect to the German Plant Science Community.

It's interactive, fun and relaxed.

Unfortunately, I won't be there this year, but I'll be back in 2027 👍

🛡️ REVIEW 🛡️

Torres Ascurra & Müller review how signaling peptides regulate beneficial & pathogenic plant-microbe interactions, highlighting recent advances on the complex interplay between the signaling pathways controlling mutualism and immunity.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...
#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 4 (shortened, full legend in paper): CLAVATA signaling integrates pathogenic and mutualistic plant-microbe interactions. (A) MtCLE53 expression is induced in AM-colonized roots and triggers a negative feedback loop that negatively impacts colonization, in concert with MtSUNN (ortholog of CLV1) in the shoot. Another AM-induced CLE peptide, MtCLE16, locally promotes AM symbiosis by signaling through the pseudokinase CRN, commonly thought to form a CLE perception unit with the LRR-RLP CLV2. The AM fungus R. irregularis encodes a mimic of plant CLE peptides called RiCLE1. RiCLE1 interferes with host signaling to promote AM fungal root colonization and root development by targeting host CLV2/CRN signaling, partially resembling the mode of action of the host-expressed MtCLE16. (B) Following Meloidogyne incognita infection, host-expressed AtCLE3 is up-regulated in galls.

I recently moved my lab to Purdue University and am looking for graduate students. We are working at the interface of population genomics, quantitative genetics and functional genomics to understand how plants adapt to extreme environments. Reach out if you would like to discuss potential projects.

Very nice & interesting study connecting MpNPR and MpERF13. Congratulations Selena and all involved!
Also reminds us to grow plants in different conditions (including non-axenic) for phenotyping.

We found that this gene regulation is required for rapid stomatal opening in response to light to enhance gas exchange. We also show that variations in the CYP707A1 promoters account for the differential stomatal responses across Brassicaceae species.

The absence of this gene regulation in C. rubella and E. salsugineum is associated with resistance against coronatine-mediated stomatal opening. We then asked what drive this diversification in Brassicaceae.
