Grateful for another holiday celebration with this brilliant group ❤️🫶🏻 Have great fun doing science together with all of you! Here is to more excitement and laughter in 2024! Happy holidays! The Sainsbury Laboratory #teamScience #holidayCheers

A heartfelt farewell to the amazing Hui Li who will be a group leader in IGDB, Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing. Thank you for the great work Hui! We will miss you The Sainsbury Laboratory but can't wait for all the exciting science coming from the Hui Li group! #proudPI #MPMI

The peer-reviewed version is now online at Current Biology! Here, we unveiled a conserved molecular rheostat that fine-tunes both plant autophagy and immunity. Massive thanks to everyone in the labs of Tolga Bozkurt and Yasin Dagdas🌟!!

A fun lab outing Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden Such a lovely group to hang out with in and outside of the laboratory! Missing in the trip was Bozeng Tang - best of luck for your interview!

We are pleased to share our latest paper! We looked at the transcriptomic landscape of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), the citrus HLB pathogen, in seed coat vasculatures.🧵 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… Dr. Wenbo Ma

#NoCaSS2024 wrapped up Friday last week. Two great days of ECR talks, posters, and science discussions! Special thanks to Mojgan Rabiey for delivering the keynote lecture! We also had a lot of fun organizing :) 💯 Until next year ✌🏻

For the very first talk of ECPP, we're hearing from Prof Saskia Hogenhout from the John Innes Centre on 'Unveiling the intricate molecular mechanisms governing plant interactions with sap-feeding insects'. A great start to the morning! ☀️

And that’s a wrap on #ECPP24! A big thank you to all our amazing speakers, poster presenters, and attendees. We’re sad that it’s over but we’re also excited to expand our group and welcome even more participants for #PPATH24 tomorrow! 🌱🦠

Thanks for this great opportunity to reconnect with old friends, meet new faces, and be inspired by the wealth of insightful talks! Looking forward to wonderful talks starting day 1 at BSPP！

The PH Gregory talks will start with Molly Bergum, Elin Falla, and Berlaine Quime!

The next talk from Diana Gómez De La Cruz is 'Molecular mimicry of a pathogen virulence target by a plant immune receptor'

Really excited to welcome our new team members Rita (predoc) 🇳🇬, Jennie (predoc)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿and Renzo (PhD student) 🇵🇪! Rita Archibong Renzo Villena G. @jennieCY_Yang The Sainsbury Laboratory Jennie is new to Twitter/X please follow her!

BREAKING NEWS The 2024 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.

Very happy to preprint this work right before the holidays! Spearheaded by excellent student Shuang Yang who collaborated with @Amelia_Bacteria and many others. We may now explain why jujube trees infected with phytoplasma are stunted! #mpmi #zombieplants

An incredible achievement for Jonathan D G Jones! "Many thanks to my wonderful colleagues at TSL, our greater research community, and our many outstanding advisory board members (2 of whom are my cohonorees) that have enabled TSL to become an incredible engine of discovery.” - JJ

Stand-off between the new NRP cat Zeus and the newly titled Dr. Yufei Li 🐈👩🏻‍🎓 Congratulations Yufei Li 🎊🙌🏽

It’s been such an honor and joy to complete my PhD at The Sainsbury Laboratory! A huge thank you to my amazing supervisor Dr. Wenbo Ma for guiding me into this incredible journey. To all the kind, brilliant colleagues & friends at TSL, JIC, and beyond-your support made this possible💛

Happy to share that our Helixer deeplearning-based annotation of 230 superasterid genomes is now online on Dryad 💻🌱 doi.org/10.5061/dryad.… Check out how we used 69 of them to study the molecular evolution of a plant immune receptor network here! 👇

new work on #phytoplasma #effector by Dr. Wenbo Ma Yang et al. 2025. A witches’ broom phytoplasma effector induces stunting by stabilizing a bHLH transcription factor in Ziziphus jujuba plants. New Phytologist nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Deeply honored and humbled by this recognition. Thrilled to be part of The Sainsbury Laboratory! None of this would be possible without the unwavering support from my colleagues, friends, family, and above all, every past and present member of my group! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🙏🙏🙏The Royal Society IS-MPMI
