🚨 A new twist in #NLRbiology! 🚨 Excited to report on the surprising mechanism where the helper NLR NRG1 targets organellar membranes to trigger immunity unlike canonical CC-NLRs, which function at the plasma membrane! 1/11 🧵 doi.org/10.1101/2024.09.19.6…

A helper NLR channels organellar calcium to trigger plant immunity

Upon activation, plant nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) immune receptors are known to assemble into oligomeric resistosomes that insert into the plasma membrane, forming calcium (Ca2+)–...

Congrats to @kulich_ivan for his paper in @ScienceMagazine on how calcium and ROS affect root growth science.org/doi/10.1126/scie… @BiologyCentre @MolLIfeofPlants

Calcium-triggered apoplastic ROS bursts balance gravity and mechanical signals for soil navigation

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in multiple signaling processes in plants, but the underlying mechanisms and roles remain enigmatic. In this study, we developed a method of live...

How plants sense injury in their barrier tissue, periderm? Painstakingly detailed and amazing work by post doc Hiroyuki Iida shows that wounding is sensed by the diffusion of two gases: ethylene and oxygen. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Plants monitor the integrity of their barrier by sensing gas diffusion

Nature - A study using Arabidopsis shows that plants can monitor the integrity of their outer barriers by sensing gas diffusion, enabling them to initiate wound repair to prevent water loss and...

We found that high light can trigger calcium responses in the chloroplast stroma, cytosol and ER, dependent on photoinhibition, ROS formation, and temperature, revealing an unexpected connection between ER and stromal calcium pools!

Pervasive sublethal effects of agrochemicals on insects at environmentally relevant concentrations

Insect biomass is declining globally, likely driven by climate change and pesticide use, yet systematic studies on the effects of various chemicals remain limited. In this work, we used a chemical...
