Recently, I read a nice mini review on cell wall modifications during plant immunity — there are some really interesting open questions in this area!

Fortifying the frontier: cell wall modifications during plant immunity
The plant cell wall (CW) was long thought to be a rigid barrier encasing the plant cell and protecting it against biotic and abiotic stressors. Differ…

Periodic Table of Monosaccharides!
Breaking news: Richard Cummings created a Periodic Table of Monosaccharides! So next time someone says “sugar is simple,” just casually drop that there’s a whole periodic table for them! #glycotime 🧪

2 papers in @science.org this week uncover wheat tandem kinase function. Working in parallel, the authors of each paper show that two different tandem kinases converge to activate the same NLR!

A wheat tandem kinase activates an NLR to trigger immunity
The role of nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) receptors in plant immunity is well studied, but the function of a class of tandem kinases (TKs) that confer disease resistance in wheat and ba...
