Super happy to finally share our preprint with the community! 🎉 Fungal extracellular vesicles deliver RNA cargo into host cells - but how do they get through the plant cell wall? This question puzzled us and the field for years… 🧵 1/6

We are excited to release the BAT!🦇🚨 We've used this phylogenetic analysis pipeline in our lab for years, and grad Ben Sheppard now presents a Github release and preprint. I run BAT analyses almost daily. It makes exploring gene families routine, customizable, and fun🧵

Its preprint season for #TRRPlantMicrobe and in the last weeks a flurry of great plant microbe papers were posted. It's been wonderful seeing these stories take shape over the last years amid a supportive community of young researchers, so I wanted to collect them all in one place. Take a look👇

New paper is online! We used single cell RNA-seq & phylogenetics to identify 2 additional cell type specific TFs that control late-stage vinca alkaloid biosynthesis. The key insights originated from Camptotheca, another species that produces alkaloids. doi.org/10.1111/nph.... #PlantScience #SecMet
A gene regulatory network built from single cell co-expression, orthology, transactivation, and overexpression. The TF IDB1 activates itself the TF IDM1. IDM1 and IDB1 together activates IDM4, which in turn activates biosynthetic genes.
