Reposted by Justin Lee (IPB)Spoel Lab @spoel-lab.bsky.social · 09/02/2026Plants use cell-surface and intracellular receptors that collaborate to detect pathogens🦠. We discovered that a key #ubiquitin recognition event recruits both receptor types into an unexpected dual receptor complex that boost the translation of defence proteins and establishes robust #PlantImmunity👇🏾 26745

Justin Lee (IPB) @jleevonipb.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Happy to contribute to the excellent work from our collaborators where "1 + 1 ≠ 2". Instead of increased susceptibility to #rice_blast, loss of 2 CPK5 paralogs led to #Effector-triggered_immunity (ETI)-type of resistance, thus showing importance of #calcium_signalling. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 084
Justin Lee (IPB) @jleevonipb.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Happy to contribute to writing this review on calcium signalling & plant immunity (with the team from Tina Romeis's group). A main takeaway is that "responsiveness" states of sensors can explain most of the Decoding via Calcium signature/Chemical switch. doi.org/10.1016/j.pb...doi.orgRedirecting 020

Reposted by Justin Lee (IPB)Gitta Coaker @gittacoaker.bsky.social · 19/08/2025Sometimes the most useful insights come from what doesn’t work. We tested a dual PRR stack: LORE blocked Ralstonia, while FLS2xl could sense Ca. Liberibacter flg22 but didn’t stop infection.
