Postdoc interested in plant communication and response to pathogens 🌱🔬👩‍🔬 at @johninnescentre.bsky.social previously worked with relevant crops and microbes for plant sustainability in Spain at @cragenomica.bsky.social and IRTA

So proud to see this story finally out!🎉 We added new data since our previous preprint—transgenic barley plants with an engineered immune receptor that fights off two fungal pathogens at once. Short 🧵 and link to the original preprint thread on X👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Molecular mimicry of a pathogen virulence target by a plant immune receptor

Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathog...
