🚨🌱🦠 IT'S OUT! Lead by Pedro Jiménez-Sandoval from Julia Santiago's group, we found that IGP1 is a DAMP receptor for the sugar cellotriose. Interesting finding -> we found that DAMP recognition is a key immune layer for proper PAMP-triggered immunity signaling prior to PAMP detection.

Glycan recognition by a plant damage-sensing immune receptor
Pathogens target and degrade the extracellular matrix surrounding plant cells. A central question is how cell wall-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are recognized and integrated to...

🌱 Day 1 of #SPPS2026 in Helsinki. Our society is meeting at the University of Helsinki this week, and the first day set a high bar. Ari Pekka Mähönen opened the meeting and chaired the first session, impressively relaxed one minute in 😌👇 📷 Mats Hansson 🧵 1/7

Excited to share that I will start my lab this summer as an ECL Unit Leader at RIKEN CSRS! We will study perception by cell-surface receptors across diverse plant species. I’ll be recruiting soon, so please reach out if you’re interested!

🌱 New preprint from the Verger Lab @stephanevrg.bsky.social ! 🧪 📜 Imran Baba et al., 2024: doi.org/10.1101/2024... 🔬 Discover how RG-II crosslinking in the plant cell wall, regulated by Boron, is crucial for cell adhesion during growth. ✨ Bonus: RRQuant tool! (Details in thread 👇) #PlantBiology
