Our paper with work by Simon Snoeck and @anthonygkgarcia is out today in eLife - the journal ! We describe the evolution of herbivore peptide recognition by a plant immune receptor, and resurrect the sequence of the ancestral gene from ~28 million years ago. elifesciences.org/articles/81050

While Twitter still works, tell your favorite undergrads that the Plant Health Fellows summer internship is accepting applications for 2023! Apply by Feb. 24th. southernct.edu/plant-health-f…

Glad to share "Artificial nanovesicles for dsRNA delivery in spray induced gene silencing for crop protection" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Great team work #SIGS by Lulu Qiao, Rachael Hamby Jonatan Niño Sanchez Angela Chen from UCR and a Big Thank You to Luca & Bruno Mezzeti IPLANTA

I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted a faculty position at Stellenbosch University. As a black academic, I am excited to inspire and be inspired by future generation of Black scientist, but also use my platform to make a real impact #NewPI #BlackInSTEM plantholobiont.com

The first submission and first acceptance of our upcoming Proceedings of 12th Japan-US Seminar on Plant Pathology, published as a special issue in Phys. Mol. Plant Pathol. More soon to come!

More of the upcoming Proceedings special issue: "How might highly resilient plant immunity have evolved? A multiverse hypothesis" by Fumiaki Katagiri sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Another Proceedings chapter just dropped! A discussion on "Phytoavengins" from Brian Kvitko and Daniel J Kliebenstein. If you like avenging, reading this is definitely better than watching Quantumania. 🌱🧪🦸🏽‍♂️sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

12th Japan-US Seminar in Plant Pathology Brian Kvitko Did you know that phytoalexins and NBS-LRRs/ MAPK cascades are not the fastest microbe/insect response? Instead it is the preformed two-compartment compounds like cyanogenics, glucosinolates, etc. This paper is discussion with Brian Kvitko about alt ideas to classify defense.

Much deserved shoutout to Ryohei Ryohei Terauchi and his team for all their contributions to #NLRbiology Adam Bentham #PlantNLRfest

News is out! I am the 2023 recipient of the William Boright Hewitt and Maybelle Ellen Ball Hewitt Award​ from the American Phytopathological Society -The American Phytopathological Society ! This award recognizes a scientist within seven​ years of receiving a PhD who has made an outstanding and

Day 1 as #NewPi in my new home Stellenbosch University and looking forward to engaging with my new colleagues discussing everything #microbiome and #Plantholobiont. Follow us at plantholobiont.com to get the latest lab updates, news, and positions available #Holobiont #TeamSoybean

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 @colepbio Signe Lolle Brian Kvitko and heavy lifting by Jie Zhu. cell.com/cell-reports/f…

If you have plant NLR papers in prep, talk to us about it or directly submit for consideration in our joint special issue☘️. See details below 👇 cell.com/cp/special-iss…

The reunion we all needed! 🫶🏻 #JUSPP friends at #ISMPMI2023 12th Japan-US Seminar in Plant Pathology IS-MPMI

Thrilled our paper is now published in PNAS—thanks to our fantastic team BU Biology Boston University, Earth & Environment🥰!!! "Urbanization and edge effects interact to drive mutualism breakdown and the rise of unstable pathogenic communities in forest soil" 🏙️🍄 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
