Cytokinin-mediated trichome initiation in Nicotiana benthamiana upon Agrobacterium tumefaciens infiltration Infiltration of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana has become a standard method for transient expression in plants. Like many Solanaceae species, N. benthamiana develops on i...

Attention Nicotiana benthamiana users! Certain strains of Agrobacterium (e.g. GV3101-pMP90) induce glandular trichomes because of cytokinin production by Agrobacterium. As this can influence assay outcome, we recommend testing several strains. See our preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A research team led by the @leibnizipk.bsky.social has revealed that modern barley has a “mosaic origin”, meaning it stems from several wild populations across the Fertile Crescent. The findings were published in @nature.com.

Ergosterol‐induced immune response in barley involves phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol phosphate metabolic enzymes and activation of diterpene biosynthesis Lipids play crucial roles in plant–microbe interactions, functioning as structural components, signaling molecules, and microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs). However, the mechanisms underly...

Happy to share our latest publication. More than 200 diterpenoids producex by combinatorial biosynthesis using 10 diterpene synthases and 4 P450 oxygenases in yeast: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A surprising discovery - a role for lineage in leaf development. Great work by @chiaraperico.bsky.social

Some trichome metabolites make up more than 10% of the leaf dry weight! Local concentrations are in the M range!
