Excited this MS is out! Here, we genome edited Pire in tomato, a conserved E3 ligase controlling NADPH oxidase accumulation in Arabidopsis. Edited lines exhibited enhanced resistance to foliar bacterial pathogens, but not two root colonizing pathogens. #PlantImmunity

Gene editing of the E3 ligase PIRE1 fine-tunes reactive oxygen species production for enhanced bacterial disease resistance in tomato
An E3 ligase helps control plant immune responses and regulates reactive oxygen species production, offering a strategy to boost disease resistance in leav

New paper alert! A chromosome-scale genome of Meloidogyne hapla. A devastating plant pathogen. But this is not just another genome.

NO CANONICAL TELOMERES but a novel 16-mer repeat at chromosome ends. A new mechanism for chromosome-end maintenance?

Worms just keeping everything good a weird with holocentric chromosomes AND weird caps at the ends. Awesome to see such an example of the diversity of solutions to segregating and maintaining information in chromosomes!

Very excited to see my first first-authored paper published in @pnas.org . We found the first regulator of effector production in plant-parasitic nematodes! Congratulations to co first author @clempellegrin.bsky.social and all other authors. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
