@albertopmacho.bsky.social and I summarize advances in understanding how T3Es modulate cellular processes beyond immune signaling for colonization in COPB. Sabotage behind enemy lines: Bacterial hijacking of plant cellular functions www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🤝 La presidenta del #CSIC inicia un viaje de trabajo a China para reforzar la colaboración con instituciones científicas ➡️ Hoy se ha reunido con la Universidad de Shanghái, la Universidad Jiao Tong de Shanghái y el Centro de Excelencia en Ciencias Moleculares de las Plantas

Phosphorylation‐dependent association of a bacterial effector with plant 14‐3‐3 proteins enhances effector stability and bacterial virulence

Gram-negative bacterial pathogens inject effector proteins inside plant cells using specialized secretion systems. These effectors manipulate plant cellular functions and suppress the plant immune s...

Our new paper is out in New Phytologist! We describe how the Ralstonia solanacearum effector RipAV suppresses plant immunity by directly interfering with key defense regulators. 🧵👇 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The Ralstonia solanacearum effector RipAV targets plant U‐box proteins and induces proteasomal‐dependent degradation of BIK1

Plants have developed a complex immune system to detect and respond to invading pathogens. A critical aspect of this defense relies on regulatory mechanisms that control the activation of immune res...

Absolutely gorgeous images showing expression reporters in Pseudomonas syringae from @type3lab.bsky.social - variety in flagella and type iii secretion system expression within a group of cells. #2025ISMPMI

Please don't miss it! A great session on the spatial and temporal regulation of plant–microbe interactions, hosted by @uprogress.bsky.social and @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social Many attractive talks, including our latest research presented by @crbeuzon.bsky.social #ISMPMI2025 #MicroSky #PlantScience

Cajal bodies are membraneless structures with fundamental roles across eukaryotes—but which proteins actually make them up? Using FAPS, Zhou et al. isolated 34 million plant Cajal bodies and profiled their proteome via LC-MS/MS. Curious? Check out our latest preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Proteome profiling of plant Cajal bodies uncovers kingdom-specific components

Insight into the molecular composition of cellular microenvironments is essential for understanding their function. Membraneless organelles (MLO), such as the nuclear Cajal body (CB), play fundamental...

It's Friday and it's #NationalMojitoDay! Here's some of the chemistry behind this refreshing minty cocktail 🍹 www.compoundchem.com/2020/07/10/m... #ChemSky 🧪

It was such a pleasure to host @albertopmacho.bsky.social at the @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social —in his little detour on his way to Cologne for the #2025ISMPMI. “Deciphering the interaction between plants and bacterial pathogens: beyond activation and suppression of immunity”—what a treat we got!

Happy and proud to participate in this collaboration between my home countries 🇪🇸🇨🇳

How Bacteria Outsmart Plants—Then Flee the Scene! #MicroSky #PlantScience #Pseudomonas Our new research in Nature Microbiology uncovers the sophisticated teamwork of Pseudomonas syringae, a notorious plant pathogen. 🔗 rdcu.be/egczU

Pseudomonas syringae subpopulations cooperate by coordinating flagellar and type III secretion spatiotemporal dynamics to facilitate plant infection

Nature Microbiology - Single-cell gene expression analysis reveals phenotypic heterogeneity to enable bacterial specialization over the course of plant colonization.
