I will be running my first ever half-marathon in Ottawa, ON in 2026! 🎉 In light of this, I am fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society and running for those in my life who have been impacted by cancer. If you or someone you know would like to donate, please do so here: tinyurl.com/yd4kp2vd

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 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New story out! Side project from the PhD that turned out to be quite interesting. Are chloroplastic ROS the initial trigger for SA biosynthesis in its originating organelle in plant immunity? Please, have a read and find out for yourself 😀! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Co‐occurrence of chloroplastic ROS production and salicylic acid induction in plant immunity

Chloroplasts are important sites of metabolite biosynthesis, including precursors of the defense-related phytohormone salicylic acid (SA). Chloroplastic reactive oxygen species (cROS) have previousl...

Now out in @newphyt.bsky.social from @charlesrleveillee.bsky.social. We investigated the link between induction of chloroplastic ROS and the production of SA in defense and its suppression by effectors, as well as the importance of ABA in this phenomenon nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Congratulations to PhD student @rossichristina.bsky.social for receiving the @cspbscbv.bsky.social Best Student Paper Award (Honourable Mention)! Christina's #PlantCellEnv publication was based on her previous MSc thesis research @laurierbiology.bsky.social. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Extremely PROUD of PhD student Christina Rossi for her great talk and for being an outstanding ambassador of our @laurierbiology.bsky.social research program here in Gent! 🤩🌱🧬 Shout-out to our #Proteomics collaborators Dr. Jennifer Geddes-McAlister and Dr. Jason McAlister (MCB Guelph)!
