Now published online in New Phytologist 🎉 doi.org/10.1111/nph.70… This work was spearheaded by Shuang Yang from Xiaoming Pang's group in Beijing Forestry University who came to The Sainsbury Laboratory working with Dr. Wenbo Ma and myself. Jujube Witches' Broom Phytoplasma effector🧵⬇️(1/8)

Using dual-LUC assays, ZjbHLH87 was found to negatively regulate the expression of GA genes ZjKAO and ZjGRP11, which was enhanced by SJP39 stabilization (7/8).

Lastly, GA treatment of SJP39 and ZjbHLH87 transgenic jujube lines resulted in no change in plant height, whereas control lines had a noticeable increase in plant height after treatment. This further supports our proposed model and the role SJP39 plays during infection (8/8).

My postdoc Dr. Yezi Xiang and I prepared this comprehensive review on plant translational regulation in response to biotic and abiotic stress. annualreviews.org/content/journa…

Yesterday was the last day of work in Montpellier 🇫🇷 and what a great way to wrap up this visit! I had the chance to join first-year students on a field trip to the experimental farm 🌾. We identified plant diseases and insects, assessed soil health, and explored key agronomic

Intracellular pathogens can form extensive hyphal structures. Here, the pathogen Phytophthora palmivora (magenta) produces invasive hyphae in a living epidermal cell of a Nicotiana root. The plant surrounds the invader by an 'extra-invasive hyphal membrane' (yellow)📸Alex Guyon
