Our new Review is online! Nutrients can act as spatial signals that organise plant-microbe interactions. We discuss emerging tools and propose a cell-state framework linking plant and microbial cell states through local nutrient landscapes. sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Remarkable story of Eva Sansome, who carried out pioneering work on Phytophthora, establishing its diploid nature & prevalence of reciprocal traslocations and genome rearrangement, working once retired from her own kitchen in Diss in Norfolk. As told by @kamounlab.bsky.social #ECPP26

Super exciting to see the review online! Thanks @cesaree-mg.bsky.social and Diane for the cooperation for the life cycle diagram. It brought back memories of plant pathology courses at uni, where I could never quite understand rust life cycles… Now I can name all five spore types 😎, learned a lot!

CC-NLRs exhibit diverse conformations in the resting state.
Figure depicts different NLR resting and activated states. While ZAR1 exists as a monomer bound to its guardees in its resting state, several forms have been observed for the NRC2 helper, including dimers, tetramers, and filaments. While filament-like structures were observed via confocal microscopy for NRC2 upon overexpression in planta, these structures were not detected for its paralog NRC4, suggesting a potentially different resting state configuration for NRC4. Our work suggests that the Pik CC-NLR pair forms a hetero-complex bound to the plasma membrane in its resting state. How effector binding to the integrated domain (ID) of the Pik-1 sensor leads to the activation of the complex remains to be determined.

Plant cells are connected to their neighbours via ‘tubes’ called plasmodesmata, creating an interconnected cytoplasm that joins cells within and between tissues and organs.
