Immune activation by a phloem-colonizing plant pathogen drives citrus Huanglongbing disease development: Cell Host & Microbe https://t.co/l12R63h3Gi Glad to share our recent progress on citrus HLB. Kudos to the co-first authors Xianen, Wenxiu, Wenting, and Yu and other colleagues in my lab. It is truly a team work by collaboration with Allison K. Hanse at UCR, Ning Zhang at JMU, and Madhurababu Kunta at TAMUK.
Our study is now out in Current Biology! 🎉
CO receptors (CERK1 & LYR4) shape root bacterial communities, and a receptor-shaped SynCom enhances both plant growth & mycorrhizal symbiosis.
Grateful to co-authors & mentors for support 🙏🙏

The Medicago truncatula LYR4 intracellular domain serves as a scaffold in immunity signaling independent of its phosphorylation activity https://t.co/yDYE1kEzia #biorxiv_plants
Great! https://t.co/bwUxZrv7zD
The function of SLs shown in this work may answer two long-standing questions about SL evolution.
1. Why did plants start exuding SLs before AM fungi evolved to respond to them? → To suppress the growth of fungal pathogens.
