Thanks Suayb!

🎉 Thrilled to announce that CoBEPP — Using conserved bacterial effectors to probe plant-pathogen interactions — has been funded by @ageinves.bsky.social & @cienciagob.bsky.social!
Grateful for the support to launch my first project @ihsmumacsic.bsky.social , exploring effector functions! 🌱🔬

miR825‐5p‐regulated TNLs govern Arabidopsis resistance to Tetranychus urticae and Pieris brassicae MicroRNAs are essential regulators in plant resistance to biotic stresses, but their specific roles in the plant–herbivore context require deeper investigation. Here, we studied how the Arabidopsis .....

And now for something completely different!

Very proud to have contributed to this work on molecular plant-pest interaction led by Isabel Diaz Rodriguez at CBGP

As a bonus, this one comes with an always welcomed predoc contract! We'll be looking for PhD candidates soon...

Very grateful to @ageinves.bsky.social we'll try and get the most out of those funds!

@type3lab.bsky.social keeps going strong!

We have just been awarded a Project Grant (PID2024) from the Spanish Agencia Estatal de Investigación on the topic "Cooperative virulence in plants: mechanisms, dynamics and adaptive impact"

Pseudomonas syringae subpopulations cooperate by coordinating flagellar and type III secretion spatiotemporal dynamics to facilitate plant infection Nature Microbiology - Single-cell gene expression analysis reveals phenotypic heterogeneity to enable bacterial specialization over the course of plant colonization.

How Bacteria Outsmart Plants—Then Flee the Scene!

#MicroSky #PlantScience #Pseudomonas

Our new research in Nature Microbiology uncovers the sophisticated teamwork of Pseudomonas syringae, a notorious plant pathogen.
