There is still much to learn about HASTY! 🌿
In our latest study in Plant Communications, we identify HASTY as a key regulator of systemic immunity in Arabidopsis.

Hey Bluesky!
My background's in #plantgenetics & #plantpathology but spend more time at a desk than the lab bench these days.
I wrote about a paper we just published on looking to save hops from disease (& keep pesticides out of beer)

Plants counter with NLRs R2 & Rpi-mcq1, which guard both the pH regulator (StATP6V1C1) and its downstream target — a dual-layer decoy surveillance system.
A new arms race battlefield: intracellular pH homeostasis.

A really cool #PlantImmunity paper showing that the ubiquitin-binding protein RH3 recruits PTI & ETI receptors into one large complex via ubiquitin chains, linking these pathways.
Also goes well with this paper showing a link between BIK1 & NLRs via phosphorylation: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are Trptonites all a plant really needs to defend itself against fungal pathogens?
#PlantImmunity
An Arabidopsis leaf-infection assay with Alternaria alternata showing lesions on Col-0, defenseless (abi1-1 coi1 eds1 ein2 rbohD sid2) and cyp79b2b3 plants. The lesions are worst on cyb79b2b3, intermediate on the defenseless plant, and least on Col. Similarly, plants infected with Pseudomonas syringae show strongest susceptibility in an eds1 sid2 background, medium susceptibility in defenseless, and least in Col.
Interesting that a 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 mutant (𝘢𝘣𝘪𝟣-𝟣 𝘤𝘰𝘪𝟣 𝘦𝘥𝘴𝟣 𝘦𝘪𝘯𝟤 𝘳𝘣𝘰𝘩𝘋 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝟤) is less sensitive to fungal infection than a 𝘤𝘺𝘣𝟩𝟫𝘣𝟤/𝘣𝟤 mutant (Similarly, 𝘦𝘥𝘴𝟣 𝘴𝘪𝘥𝟤 is more susceptible to bacterial infection than the 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴).

New #preprint from the lab: When one plant parasitizes another, the impact goes beyond nutrient loss. We show that parasitism weakens the host plant’s immunity, leaving it highly susceptible to microbial infections. Find out why: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #PlantImmunity #ParasiticPlants

Abstract For the past two years, I have been contemplating how best to write this review that not only reflects on a few significant and nostalgic moments in my more than three decades of professional career in the molecular plant-microbe interaction (MPMI) field, but also offers my personal outlook on the future aimed at inspiring young scientists to join this exciting discipline. Rather than a comprehensive overview, I would like to place greater emphasis on the “whys” and the “hows” than the “whats”. I finally decided to use technological advancements critical for the development of our field as a thread to connect the past with the future. Founder's Review

Gal Ofir at the KWS Headquarters. He is standing in front of a large world map, which shows KWS' Research Centres and Stations. Behind him, below the map, are four silos containing sugar beet seeds in different stages of processing, from raw, to cleaned, processed and final product. It is visible that the volume filles get's smaller and smaller and with each processing step.
This week we welcomed @galofir.bsky.social from @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social at @kwsgroup.bsky.social for our #PlantScience R&D Lecture.
It was a pleasure to finally meet, learn about his #PlantImmunity & #ImmunoGenomics work to uncover evolutionary conserved defense mechanisms, & talk plant science. 👍🤓
