Happy to share this preprint, we describe how the membrane could shape the ROS nanoenvironment in plant responses to osmotic signals. Led by @arthur-poitout.bsky.social and amazing colleagues @yvonjaillais.bsky.social , @jbfiche.bsky.social , A Meyer, and J Ugalde. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Excited to share my first preprint from my PhD! 🎉 We introduce a novel Aeschynomene evenia – Aphanomyces euteiches pathosystem to explore links between quantitative resistance and symbiosis in legumes. 🌱🔬 🧾 www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... 🧵 Thread: 1/9

A novel pathosystem between Aeschynomene evenia and Aphanomyces euteiches reveals new immune components in quantitative legume root-rot resistance.

Legumes are pivotal for sustainable agriculture, yet their productivity is hindered by soilborne pathogens such as Aphanomyces euteiches . This study introduces Aeschynomene evenia as a novel model to...

Scientists long thought the plant cell wall to be dead, but it's an active, even chatty participant in cellular growth, reproduction and responses to infection go.nature.com/4nqhFhU

Plants have a secret language that scientists are only now starting to decipher

Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function. Can harnessing this molecular cross talk help in creating better crops?

The dissertation! 150 pages of prairie, history, & more pawpaws than you'd expect. I've sold over 850 copies of this baby, and the world being what it is, it's far too expensive to print another edition right now. Check it out in pdf form: drive.google.com/file/d/104cf...

Over 100 000 hits for "Arabidopsis" on PubMed 🎊💚☀️. It was 45 000 when I started my PhD 12 years ago..!

We are recruiting! A three year PhD position @iecb.bsky.social and @lbm-bordeaux.bsky.social to study lipid recognition by plant receptor-like kinases.

Along with every geneticist I am a total Mendel groupie and this new figure (www.nature.com/articles/s41...) that shows the chromosome location and underlying basis of his allelic pairs moves me to near-tears. Oh, to fly back in time and show this to him ...

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.!
