Myth busted: immune activation ≠ immunity 🌱⚔️. We found ETI can trigger full cell death without stopping bacterial growth - if water stays in the apoplast. Want to know what immunity is from a physiological standpoint? 👇 A thread🧵

What Virginia loves about plant science is that it allows her to explore a world that seems silent but is full of signals, movement, and communication. academic.oup.com/plphys/artic... #WeAreASPB

So thrilled to see our work published in @mpmijournal.bsky.social 🎉 doi.org/10.1094/MPMI-0… We explored CPK28 evolution. Our results suggest a conserved role in development while its immune-regulation function may have emerged later in vascular plants. Congratulations to all the authors!

Don't miss TODAY the concurrent session at 3.45 pm at the #PlantBio2026 You have the opportunity to engage with cool plant science and plant scientists 🌱 @cspbscbv.bsky.social @aspbofficial.bsky.social

#CanolaWeek2025 💛 Feeling genuinely happy and grateful.This conference had a different energy — full of thoughtful conversations, generous people, and so much inspiration to keep growing. Thank you for the award! A meaningful recognition that encourages me to keep advancing. ✨

I'm very thrilled to see this story out! Thanks to everyone who contributed to this work and made it possible! 🎊☺️
