Born from the collaborative spirit of #TRR356, I’m excited to share my first first-author project! 🪴🦠 What started as a side project with @kbuhrman.bsky.social led us to discover that KAR/KL and SL signalling fine-tune the strength and timing of plant defense responses in a conserved manner!

And that’s a wrap for the #TRR356 “Plant-Microbe” PhD & PostDoc retreat at beautiful Frauenchiemsee 🌿 We enjoyed talks from within the TRR and from our fantastic invited speakers, along with an engaging poster session, workshop, and career development discussions. A truly great event!
