Very happy to share our latest work “Systematic discovery and engineering of synthetic immune receptors in plants” out in @science.org !

Systematic discovery and engineering of synthetic immune receptors in plants
Plants deploy a diverse array of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which perceive microbe-associated molecular patterns to activate immune responses. Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase subgr...

Today we report how plant immune preparedness against future infections is negatively intercepted by elevated temperatures! @theplantjournal.bsky.social #OpenAccess

This work was initiated by my first MSc student Alyssa Shields. @laurierbiology.bsky.social

Warm temperature suppresses plant systemic acquired resistance by intercepting N‐hydroxypipecolic acid biosynthesis
Elevated temperature impacts plant immunity at the primary infection site, but how it affects immune preparedness for future infections remains unclear. Here we report that warm temperature suppresse...

Three back-to-back papers reveal salicylic acid biosynthesis via the PAL pathway! Unlike the old model (BA → SA via BA2H), SA forms from benzoyl-CoA & benzyl alcohol through BB & BS intermediates. One to three 😂😂😂
