Thank you for your interest: 76 Applications from 18 countries!
Thank you very much @tatsuyanobori.bsky.social for an inspiring talk at the Botanical Garden, Zurich last Friday. There is still so much to learn about plant immune responses at the single cell level! @thesainsburylab.bsky.social

We want to wish Sir David Attenborough Hon FRSB a very happy 100th birthday today!
A champion of biology and the natural world, we reflect on Sir David's contributions to the field and how he has supported the RSB over the years.

A phosphorelay circuit drives extracellular alkalinization in receptor kinase-mediated immune and cell-wall damage signaling: Molecular Cell www.cell.com/molecular-ce...
RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...
Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

Move comes after Roger Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs
Extracellular alkalinization is a hallmark of plant receptor activation, yet its mechanistic
basis and signaling function remain unclear. Zhai et al. uncover a conserved phosphorelay
circuit that regu...
