Congratulations to Uta Paszkowski on her appointment as the new Russell R. Geiger Chair in Crop Science - a prestigious academic chair serving as a cornerstone for cutting-edge agricultural research, sustainability and global food security. 🌍🌱🧪 https://t.co/V241vzq5jt

[Bruno Ngou @BrunoNgou]

Excited to share that I will start my lab this summer as an ECL Unit Leader at RIKEN CSRS!

We will study perception by cell-surface receptors across diverse plant species.

I’ll be recruiting soon, so please reach out if you’re interested!

The ecto domain is produced in N. benthamiana so 8 glycosylations are visible. 5 contribute to LRR-SEA interactions.

CARD1 cryo structure now on Nature Comm. Well done, Nobu and Anu! https://t.co/yznTTvbQIW

[Shirasu Lab@RIKEN @ShirasuLab]

There are Cys pairs but not involved in ROS sensing.

[Shirasu Lab@RIKEN @ShirasuLab]

Importantly, phenotype of card1 mutant is same as that of rbohd, suggesting that CARD1 is direct downstream of RBOHD in FLS2 signaling.

[Shirasu Lab@RIKEN @ShirasuLab]

Ecto domain contain SEA and LRR, which contains Cu molecule required for H2O2 sensing.

Thrilled to see this finally out!!

Our new work suggests #Starships helped #Colletotrichum acquire the genes needed to infect lupin.

A glimpse into how fungal pathogens emerge through horizontal transfer and genome reshaping.
