By infecting Arabidopsis with +ssRNA viruses, the team found that autophagy acts as a dial, tuning the immune response to prevent cells from dying too quickly. In turn, this process buys plants time to repair cell damage caused by viral infection and improves their chance of survival.
The GMI Communications Team wrapped up an inspiring week at #ECSITE 2026 in Gothenburg, connecting with other science communicators to gain new ideas & practical tools. Trust, elements of play, local connections & collaboration are key for broadening engagement with our science. #scicomm
