@SuayibUestuen Really, Suyaib? Did you ever teach large classes? What you do is downplaying those who have to deal with large BSC classes. Thanks

This Review summarizes both established and innovative approaches to leverage genomic data and translate resulting evolutionary insights into engineering PRR recognition specificities

[Nature Reviews Genetics @NatureRevGenet]

Harnessing recent advances to engineer PRRs presents an opportunity to enhance plant disease resistance against a broad spectrum of pathogens, enabling more sustainable agricultural practices

[Nature Reviews Genetics @NatureRevGenet]

Moreover, in silico and in vivo methods of PRR identification have accelerated the characterization of receptor–ligand complexes, and advances in protein structure prediction algorithms are revealing novel PRR sensor functions

[Nature Reviews Genetics @NatureRevGenet]

Genomic and pangenomic data sets provide valuable insights into the evolution of PRRs and their molecular triggers, which is furthering our understanding of plant–pathogen co-evolution and convergent evolution

[Nature Reviews Genetics @NatureRevGenet]

The plant immune system relies on germline-encoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that sense foreign and plant-derived molecular patterns, and signal health threats

I am coming back from a superb visit to @ZMBP_Tuebingen Tübingen on the train. Many thanks to @Farid_El_Kasmi and @Isabel_MonteG for being my hosts.
It was my first visit to ZMBP, and I am deeply impressed by the structure of this research center. It provides unique support to starting PIs, excellent research infrastructure and environment.

There was time for a seminar covering
- the hormonal control of the immune receptor expression (@Woolly_Thyme @guidopmi) https://t.co/4IM3Ypoq3P + unpublished data
- work of @ini_banales and @bcjschimmel on lettuce PAMP perception and growth-immunity tradeoffs @LettuceKnow @guidopmi
@UU_Plants

The visit was further enriched by the stimulating discussions with the PIs, postdocs, and PhD candidates. So grateful for this intellectual exchange, @ZMBP_Tuebingen!

Last but not least, I managed to follow my tradition to go for a run on a trip. There are nice tracks in and around Tübingen!

[Thorsten Nürnberger @ThorstenNrnber1]

Yesss! The art of football has won! Congratulations 🇪🇸

Thanks to @ThorstenNrnber1 @williams_simon, Natsumi Maruta (UQ) and @AdamWu9527 for sharing their exciting and partly unpublished data with us at the #IPMB2024 Disease resistance I session. Stay tunes for session II on Thursday 10:20 room 9 chaired by Peter Dodds
