So much glycan perception in @science.org this week! 🌱 Our chitin paper in a Perspective article alongside two exciting studies on how plant receptors read chitosan and cellulose. doi.org/10.1126/scie... Cellulose: doi.org/10.1126/scie... Chitosan: doi.org/10.1126/scie...

How plants decode immunogenic glycans

Distinct recognition systems for specific sugars ensure appropriate immune or maintenance responses

🌱 How do plants read chitin length? The receptor CHIP13 works like a molecular measuring tape. What began 13 years ago with a recalcitrant protein is now in @science.org. Thanks to all my co-authors and colleagues! doi.org/10.1126/scie...

A bunch of talks from our @molbiolau.bsky.social (Aarhus University) at #ISMPMI2025. @lotusgochan.bsky.social @tbluu.bsky.social @johanqlb.bsky.social Jieshun Lin

#2025ISMPMI 📣 In silico screening of PRR-epitope interactions is now possible! Here, we developed mamp-ml to predict their immunogenic outcomes without structural context. Let's accelerate engineering plant receptors for robust resistance! 🚀🌱 Small 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

mamp-ml: A deep learning approach to epitope immunogenicity in plants

Eukaryotes detect biomolecules through surface-localized receptors, key signaling components. A subset of receptors survey for pathogens, induce immunity, and restrict pathogen growth. Comparative gen...
