Fran @frangordilloc.bsky.social and I wrote this piece on one of our favorite topics: the evolutionary relevance of co-receptors for immune receptor transfer in #plants 🌱 #EvoMPMI #MPMI Check also the beautiful paper by Zhang et al. on the PRR STOMR and discover what happened to its co-receptor 😱

Thanks to everyone who joined the Trilateral ECR Symposium 2025 at @unil.bsky.social with colleagues from VIB Ghent and ENS Lyon 🌍 Such a great environment to connect across labs💡 Special shout-out to the amazing organizing committee, and especially @mathieugg.bsky.social for making it all happen !

I am thrilled to share the 2nd chapter of my PhD with @adsteinbrenner.bsky.social In collaboration with @tiszapatrick we demonstrated that the LRR-RLP INR is the missing molecular link between caterpillar recognition and predatory wasp recruitment in the field. A thread 1/6

How do plants detect insect eggs ? 🌱🦋 Our new paper on GLR2.7 and its role in plant defense responses to insect eggs is now out in @newphyt.bsky.social Big thanks to the Reymond Lab @unil.bsky.social and our collaborators ! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The glutamate receptor‐like GLR2.7 modulates insect egg‐induced defense responses in Arabidopsis

Upon perception of insect eggs, Arabidopsis thaliana activates a generic immune response that culminates in cell death (hypersensitive-like response (HR-like)). While this response can subsequently .....

🔥Postdoc opportunity 🌱 The Legris lab at the University of Neuchâtel 🇨🇭 is looking for a Postdoc to work on the regulation of branching by warm temperatures. If you have a background on plant physiology and development, and you're interested in shoot thermomorphogenesis, apply now!

Proud to present the first data paper from the lab, published today in @pnas.org. We describe a new mechanism for CLE peptides as local symbiosis-amplifying signals, promoting plant interactions with beneficial arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Congratulations @sagarbashyal.bsky.social et al.!

Most plants can`t handle salt, but have evolved strategies to survive in it. How do they do it?🌱🧪 Excited to share some of our first insights using a new cryoelemental imaging technique to answer these questions at the subcellular scale!(1/8) www.nature.com/articles/s41... @nature.com #PlantScience
