Our latest article is now online! A bacterial type III effector targets plant vesicle-associated membrane proteins (VAMPs) bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… Molecular Plant Pathology by Keke Wang et al We found that the Ralstonia T3E RipD targets plant VAMPs, contributing to Ralstonia infection

Excited to have this paper published! Here we looked at single-cell responses to virulent Pseudomonas within a leaf, followed by spatial investigation. Collab with Benjamin cole Signe Lolle Brian Kvitko and heavy lifting by Jie Zhu. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

“Fresh” off a red-eye, this contingent of the Coaker lab has arrived in Providence for IS-MPMI ! Being the East Coaster of the crew I had to make us stop at Dunkin before we even left the airport. Excited for a week of science and being back in the good ol’ northeast!

So thankful to be one of these 53 along with 3 other Coaker labmates! (Jerry Tianrun Li (李天润）, Alba Moreno Pérez, and Jie!) This panel was fantastic!

Lunch with current and former lab members at #ISMPMI2023. A great team makes science fun.

Forget resistance genes, posters might be our lab’s most impactful discovery yet (jk jk jk we are very passionate about resistance!) #2023ISMPMI

Thank you for the spotlight article Tatsuya Nobori and Joe Ecker! What a nice surprise.

Our latest protocol article is now online STAR Protocols Inoculation of Arabidopsis seedlings with Ralstonia solanacearum in sterile agar plates By Gang Yu et al Hope it will be useful for anyone interested in Ralstonia-plant interaction sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our review "Understanding plant pathogen interactions using spatial and single-cell technologies" is now online. I am very happy to be part of this work with Gitta Coaker and Jie Zhu.

Great opportunity to join us - Assistant Prof broadly advertised as “Plant Disease Ecology” UC Davis. Great university, research environment, and collegial Department.

Come join us at UC Davis! 🪱 🔬

New manuscript on our MAMP work, out in bioRxiv soon! ⁦Dani Stevens, Ph.D.⁩

After 3 years, I am excited to share our work on the evolutionary trajectories of proteinaceous MAMPs and the impact of copy number variation + polymorphism on plant immune perception. 🌿🧬 I'll save the 🧵for tomorrow. Though the preprint is below. 🥳😁 doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

Interested in investigating the molecular mechanisms enabling durable #resistance to #geminiviruses in #crops? Would you like to be part of a vibrant international team at the ZMBP in Tübingen? We have a 2-year postdoc position - join us! uni-tuebingen.de/universitaet/k… ZMBP

Mujeres muy distintas han contribuido al desarrollo de la ciencia y la tecnología. Sus aportaciones han dejado huellas hasta en el calendario, y eso hace que todos los días haya motivos para celebrar el #11febrero #11F Podéis descargar este póster en: eventociencia.es/calendario-cie…

Great talk by Tatsuya Nobori at UC Davis today focused on spatial resolution of plant response to pathogen infection & integrating multiome data.

Very happy to be part of this project! Thanks Gitta Coaker and Dani Stevens, Ph.D.!

I am very glad to be part of the lasted IS-MPMI Interface issue with the great Dani Stevens, Ph.D.! Thanks to IS-MPMI for highlighting us in the ECRs and our recent PNAS paper! ismpmi.org/Community/Inte…

Pleased to share our latest work - led by Bardo Castro and collaborators. Gene editing of the E3 ligase PIRE1 fine-tunes ROS production for enhanced bacterial disease resistance in tomato biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to see this out! Rational immune receptor engineering and proof-of-concept transferring expanded perception. Big thanks to Jerry Tianrun Li (李天润） for leading experiments, with support from Esteban Bolanos, Hanxu Sha, Dani Stevens, Ph.D., & Danya Prigozhin. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
