Super excited to preprint this work and extremely proud of my team @TheSainsburyLab. Many thanks to fantastic collaborators @XiaoqiFeng_m @Tolga_Bzkrt and @Cerhou

This work is spearheaded by the amazing postdoc Min Wang @Min_Wang6

TIR domain-containing proteins employ dual regulatory mechanisms to confer TaEDS1-dependent immunity in wheat #research #MolecularPlant https://t.co/NRYqIv4Fy5

Our collaborated research identified a two-layer epigenetic mechanism to silence Avr genes in Phytophthora sojae and enable host adaptation in soybean. Please check https://t.co/oncILQ5TUG

[Dr. Wenbo Ma @wenboEffector]

Excited to preprint work mainly by former postdocs Li Feng, Yingnan Hou @Cerhou, and the phylogenomics genius @amiralito_ @TheSainsburyLab. We found a plant defense gene family enabling pathogen gene silencing & explored engineering this pathway to boost disease resistance!

@alexjmcclelland @wenboEffector @TheSainsburyLab @UCRiverside Thanks for organizing our visit. It's a wonderful day to stay with you guys. Cannot wait to drink the next cup of beer and talk about more science and life.

@KaWaiMa6 @IPMBSinica Congratulations and all my best wishes to you! Welcome to visit us in Shanghai when you set up the lab

[Yingnan Hou @Cerhou]

Great congrats to @wenboEffector and @Hui84282116 ! Super exciting to be involved in this inspiring research！Expect more wonderful news from Ma lab 😊

[Dr. Wenbo Ma @wenboEffector]

Super excited to see this paper out! Many thanks to wonderful colleagues @TheSainsburyLab and collaborators @Frank_Menke @danmaclean Yanli Wang (CAS)

A fantastic story from Ma lab, showing the functional diversity and conservation of oomycete effectors. Congratulations!

[Hui Li @Hui84282116]

Pathogens are notorious for producing diverse effector proteins that manipulate host cellular processes. But how is functional diversity generated in an effector repertoire? Thrilled to share our fascinating story. https://t.co/TeUj6gtA3H… #biorxiv_plants

@aaas Great congrats to @wenboEffector and all the 2022 AAAS fellows!

[Yingnan Hou @Cerhou]

We talked about the "small" players in plant immunity with robust function, and discussed their "shotgun" model in defeating parasites. For more details, pls check our paper @MPPjournal and highlight @BS_PP

[British Society for Plant Pathology @BS_PP]

What is RNA interference and why is it important for plant immunity?

@Cerhou 's team have investigated small interfering RNAs or "siRNAs" and their role in plant defence

Incredible progress in gene editing pursuing the balance between enhanced resilience and high yield! Congratulations!

[Caixia Gao @CaixiaGaoLab]

I'm thrilled to share our 8-year effort @Nature describing disease resistant wheat without yield penalties! We use multiplex genome editing to create a 304-kilobase pair deletion, which revealed a novel relationship between disease resistance and growth.

It’s finally out! Plant cells are so smart to use these signaling molecules precisely~ BSL phosphatases jointly regulate both BIN2 and YDA to enable stomata asymmetric cell division. 🌱

[Yingnan Hou @Cerhou]

@YanbingWang3 Thanks Yanbing! Hope to see u again in Shanghai!

[Yingnan Hou @Cerhou]

Thanks for the invitation to share my experience in a tough transition that made me a better version of myself.

[iScience journal @iScience_CP]

Starting a research lab is tough. But, what if you had to start a lab during a pandemic?

⬇️Here, we check in with 6 new faculty members who share their experiences , from the early stages of confusion and anxiety, to also the recovery and rebuilding.
