Very happy to see our work out examining guard cell transcriptomes over the course of a slowly developing drought. Thanks to @bradylabs.bsky.social and @kaisakajala.bsky.social for the inspiration, way back in Davis in 2013! The data are available in bar.utoronto.ca/eplant & doi.org/10.1093/plce...

At the Phytochemical Society of North America annual meeting, at York University in Toronto. There's lots of biochemistry! And it's small, so there are no concurrent sessions, so you don't have the tyranny of choice. Ryo Yokoyama from U. Missouri tells us how plants are the best chemists on earth 🌎!

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.

Hailing Jin in the 4th plenary session at #icar2025 tells an intriguing story of cross-kingdom RNA trafficking via extracellular vesicles, detected with Broccoli (mRNAs), TRAP-seq, and YFP fusions, that deliver anti-microbial peptides to Botrytis. And engineered bacteria to do the same... awesome!
