Two calcium doughnuts... 🍩🍩
Inviting Early Career Researchers to join international experts in discussing the latest approaches and discoveries in Plant-Microbe Interactions …
We tried to do two wounds next to each other on the same leaf surface using a needle, there we saw that you cannot have a wave immediately after a wave had just passed. However, I didn't test this with different/longer recovery times, I it would become able to respond again after a bit!
Emma Turley started her PhD expecting the effector ChEC108 would aid Colletotrichum establish infection, but she instead discovered that when it makes it's way to plasmodesmata it's bound by host HIPP6, triggering PD closure and impeding infection. #PlantScience
This is why we love #CalciumSignaling
Look how mechanical damage triggers long range Ca2+ waves in this plant !!
