Born from the collaborative spirit of #TRR356, I’m excited to share my first first-author project! 🪴🦠
What started as a side project with @kbuhrman.bsky.social led us to discover that KAR/KL and SL signalling fine-tune the strength and timing of plant defense responses in a conserved manner!
Can’t describe it better than @sebastian-dts.bsky.social did, with whom collaborating on this #TRR356 project has been a treat! Special thanks also to Martin Stegmann and @carogutj.bsky.social , and to all other co-authors!

Latest work from our group on powdery mildew susceptibility is finally out!
We show that host RALF signalling, cell wall organization, and apoplastic pH regulation are required for successful fungal colonization. Surprisingly, the function of RALFs is only partly dependent on FERONIA. #TRR356
And that’s a wrap for the #TRR356 “Plant-Microbe” PhD & PostDoc retreat at beautiful Frauenchiemsee 🌿
We enjoyed talks from within the TRR and from our fantastic invited speakers, along with an engaging poster session, workshop, and career development discussions.
A truly great event!
