Phosphorylation‐dependent association of a bacterial effector with plant 14‐3‐3 proteins enhances effector stability and bacterial virulence
Gram-negative bacterial pathogens inject effector proteins inside plant cells using specialized secretion systems. These effectors manipulate plant cellular functions and suppress the plant immune s...

Our new paper is out in New Phytologist! We describe how the Ralstonia solanacearum effector RipAV suppresses plant immunity by directly interfering with key defense regulators. 🧵👇 nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

The Ralstonia solanacearum effector RipAV targets plant U‐box proteins and induces proteasomal‐dependent degradation of BIK1
Plants have developed a complex immune system to detect and respond to invading pathogens. A critical aspect of this defense relies on regulatory mechanisms that control the activation of immune res...

Cajal bodies are membraneless structures with fundamental roles across eukaryotes—but which proteins actually make them up? Using FAPS, Zhou et al. isolated 34 million plant Cajal bodies and profiled their proteome via LC-MS/MS. Curious? Check out our latest preprint! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Proteome profiling of plant Cajal bodies uncovers kingdom-specific components
Insight into the molecular composition of cellular microenvironments is essential for understanding their function. Membraneless organelles (MLO), such as the nuclear Cajal body (CB), play fundamental...

It was such a pleasure to host @albertopmacho.bsky.social at the @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social —in his little detour on his way to Cologne for the #2025ISMPMI. “Deciphering the interaction between plants and bacterial pathogens: beyond activation and suppression of immunity”—what a treat we got!

Pseudomonas syringae subpopulations cooperate by coordinating flagellar and type III secretion spatiotemporal dynamics to facilitate plant infection
Nature Microbiology - Single-cell gene expression analysis reveals phenotypic heterogeneity to enable bacterial specialization over the course of plant colonization.
