So grateful to have been part of this piece — co-receptors never fail to surprise!

Lost and found: Reconstituting PRR immune function through co-receptor transfer

Plant immune receptors hold great promise for engineering broad-spectrum disease resistance, but their effectiveness is very limited by restricted taxonomic functionality (RTF). In this issue of Cell ...

Restoring fungal resistance in rice: Identification of STOM, a fungal MAMP, and its receptor-co-receptor pair, STOMR/STOMRh. Evolutionary loss of functional STOMRh in monocots restricts immune recognition, while restoring it in rice reconstitutes defense www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Fungal resistance in rice is restored by interfamily transfer of an evolutionarily lost co-receptor

Zhang et al. identify STOM, a previously unknown fungal MAMP, and its receptor-co-receptor pair, STOMR/STOMRh. The evolutionary loss of functional STOMRh in monocots restricts immune recognition, whil...

Very excited to see our @nikogeldner.bsky.social lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science! (1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.

Yesterday, we celebrated the 9th #ZMBP PhD Symposium, where our PhD students (and some from @mpi-bio-fml.bsky.social) presented their work as chalk talks, posters and longer talks. Thanks everyone for the scientific discussions on #plantscience!
