2 papers in @science.org this week uncover wheat tandem kinase function. Working in parallel, the authors of each paper show that two different tandem kinases converge to activate the same NLR! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... #PlantScience

Amazing story from #MolecularTherapeutics faculty @robzonculab.bsky.social with lead author @aakritijain.bsky.social describing membrane protein degradation in the lysosome. Congratulations!! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

The next frontier in #autophagy is understanding how it functions across cell types to maintain organismal homeostasis. w/ @moritznowack.bsky.social lab, we present TWO #preprint on cell type spec. autophagy in root hairsโ€ผ๏ธ #plantscience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Back-to-back on bioRxiv by @plantophagy.bsky.social and @moritznowack.bsky.social Cell-type specific upregulation of autophagy in Arabidopsis root hair cells promotes 1) root hair lifespan by suppressing cell death 2) plant salt stress resilience by ion sequestration See links to 2 papers below!

Yeii! nice to see our molecular pharming manuscript in its final form. Congrats to all authors!

Viral coat proteins are perceived by the RING1โ€“IBRโ€“RING2-type ubiquitin ligase (RBRL) #PlantSci #Ubiquitin #proteostasis www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Vector-borne viral pathogens are threats to crops, and so trigger plant immune responses. Studying rice, authors @nature provide molecular-level insights into the first steps of plant antiviral response. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Yesterday we have just submitted our manuscript - you can find an updated version of our #preprint led by @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social "Bacteria use processing body condensates to attenuate host translation during infection" with some new data on #bioRxiv ๐Ÿค“ ๐Ÿ‘‡ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
