🌱✨ One of the fascinating examples featured in our recent webinar by Professor Alex Costa showed how a wound to a single leaf can trigger a calcium signal that spreads throughout the entire Arabidopsis plant.

Scientists long thought the plant cell wall to be dead, but it's an active, even chatty participant in cellular growth, reproduction and responses to infection

What if we could watch pathogenesis in real time? Our collab with @tapomoy89, jointly led by Syona @syonaphyceae and Sree @padmanabh97, shows how soil-like 3D regimes reshape our understanding of plant-fungal interactions!

MID1-COMPLEMENTING ACTIVITY regulates cell proliferation and development via Ca2+ signaling in Marchantia polymorpha (Megumi Iwano, Noriyuki Suetsugu, Ryuichi Nishihama, Sakiko Ishida, Tomoaki Horie, Alex Costa, et al.) https://t.co/jFfMf4xSxB @lab_costa@ASPB#PlantSci
Phytoseiulus persimilis the most important spider mite predator
A female can eat 20 spider mite eggs/day
Lays up to 5 eggs/day
She´s blind; detects prey via plant volatiles released under spider mite attack
P. persimilis only controls spider mites mainly those producing dense web
AlphaFold can predict protein, DNA, or RNA complexes.. BUT is it easy to determine the reliable interactions?🤔
➡️ AlphaBridge will identify the most confident interactions, making your analysis easier!
