Hordatines accumulate rather in more resistant barley leaves (Hordeum vulgare L.) Infected with Bipolaris sorokiniana. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
🌱🧬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

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.

A team led by the @leibnizipk.bsky.social and @fz-juelich.de has developed an AI-model that predicts where regulatory proteins bind to plant DNA in order to switch genes on and off. The study has been published in "Nature Communications".

Cryo-ET gives unparalleled views of cellular structures, but targeted sample preparation by cryo-FIB milling has been a constraint. No longer! A new workflow yields close to 100% targeting success for centrioles & other small structures.
