Hydroxylated monoterpenes mimic bacterial attack to trigger jasmonate-dependent self-amplifying immunity in tomato https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.06.09.731038v1
Cf-4- and Cf-5-triggered plant immunity: Similarities and differences https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.06.10.731257v1
Ca2+-activated CKL3 phosphorylates nucleoporin 58 to reprogram nuclear transport and execute effector-triggered immunity https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.06.09.731143v1
🌱🧬Pathogens manipulate the apoplast by controlling pH, water & nutrients. Plants fight back with oxidative bursts, toxins & hydrolases. Adapted pathogens disarm these defenses & hide from detection

Preprint: Plant pathogens cleave 2’cADPR to suppress TIR immune signaling
Inspired by knowledge on how phages inhibit bacterial immunity, we now show that disease-causing bacteria inhibit plant immunity in a similar way. A 🧵

Amazing! This report suggests that a gall aphid injects into their plant host an enzyme that manipulates auxin levels in the host and thereby induces galls.

How do pathogens disarm plant immunity?
We discovered a widespread strategy used by plant bacterial pathogens: they directly cleave a conserved immune signaling molecule produced by plant immune receptors.

📣 We are hiring! In the collaborative research center 'Plant Ecological Genetics' @teamthomma.bsky.social searches a PhD candidate to study the role of plant-associated microbiota in plant density responses and inter-plant competition. See project A07: sl1nk.com/b7z0doc Deadline July 10!
As seen on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social: our story on how the dreaded late blight pathogen hijacks a helper NLR pathway is now out in its final form! 🎉

Small molecules produced by TIR (Toll-interleukin-1 receptor) domains are essential for plant immune signaling. A central TIR-derived signal is 2'cADPR, a cyclic ADP-ribose (ADPR) molecule that is gen...
Extracellular interactions are pivotal in the plant–pathogen arms race. Fungal, bacterial, and oomycete pathogens manipulate the apoplast to control pH, water soaking, sugar levels, and nutrient avail...
Decoding the molecular and cellular basis of plant-microbe interactions. Single-cell and spatial omics of plant immunity. Led by Tatsuya Nobori at TSL, Norwich, UK.
