Post-graduate researcher in the Carella lab! Mad about moss and the evolution of plant immunity 🌱 (they/them)
Canonical NLR immune receptor architecture enforces EDS1-dependency onto divergent TIR domains https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.20.726525v1
@khongsamchia.bsky.social Extremely excited to share the first pre-print from my PhD project in the Carella lab, co-first authored with @khongsamchia.bsky.social 🎉 (Thread below ⬇️) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... Huge thanks to all co-authors and the #CarellaCapybaras for all the support 😊

...and 10 new phylogenetically diverse hornwort genomes here: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @fernway.bsky.social @jandevries.bsky.social @watertoland.bsky.social
Pan-phylum genomes of hornworts reveal conserved autosomes but dynamic accessory and sex chromosomes - Nature Plants
This study presents 11 new hornwort (Anthocerotophyta) genomes that clarify the structure and evolution of sex and accessory chromosomes in bryophytes and shed new light on the early evolution of land plants.

Stefan A. Rensing @rensingstefan.bsky.social · 10mo agoHere's 123 new bryophyte genomes for you! Apparently, bryophytes time and again include microbial genes in their genomic repertoire, and occupy a langer gene space than vascular plants. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
📢 To all molecular mossers 📢 The Moss Workshop will be held in (not always as sunny as this) Oxford next year (30th June until 2nd July 2026). More details will follow soon, but in the meantime please make a note of the dates 😃 👍
New Preprint! We identified Pseudomonas in wild liverworts and explored what makes them virulent. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
