🤷What’s new?
Unlike many model legumes, Aeschynomene evenia forms symbiosis with rhizobia without Nod factors! This makes it a unique model to explore how plants balance immunity and symbiosis with specific, Nod-independent pathways. 🦠🤝🌱

Un petit rappel. N'oubliez pas de vous inscrire! A bientôt à Toulouse.
We’re looking for a postdoc to investigate Pseudomonas viridiflava virulence across diverse plant lineages. The 3yr position will combine plant and microbial molecular biology to understand core processes of infection - email for more info & apply online @ www.jic.ac.uk/vacancies/po...
🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
Excited to share my first preprint from my PhD! 🎉
We introduce a novel Aeschynomene evenia – Aphanomyces euteiches pathosystem to explore links between quantitative resistance and symbiosis in legumes. 🌱🔬

Nikolas and I just published our insights on CLEs in plant–bio interactions. Too short to cover everything, but we hope it gets you also excited about these peptides. Thanks to @newphyt.bsky.social for the opportunity
🌟 AeRLCK2 & AeCRK2: new players in immunity & symbiosis
Mutations in two Nod-independent symbiotic genes heightened disease resistance.⚡

Voici l'annonce d'un congrès que nous organisons avec @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social les 24 et 25 Juin.
Les inscriptions sont ouvertes sur le site indiqué!
4/9 After characterizing the infection strategy of Colleto (with the help and guidance of @baptistebio.bsky.social and @jacquet-chris.bsky.social), Karima soon realized that the #MyMarchantia accessions we have in our collection were not all sensitive to that beast !
1/9 Our latest paper on immunity mechanisms in Marchantia just out @pnas.org ! 🔽
Close collaboration between our former PhD students @karimaelm.bsky.social and @chloe-beaulieu.bsky.social !
and the old gard @jacquet-chris.bsky.social @maximebonhomme.bsky.social

What can we learn from the first GWAS on bryophyte immunity? Have these plants evolved immune mechanisms similar to or different from those of angiosperms? (Spoiler: both!)
Our latest paper is out in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2532723123 #Marchantia #Colletotrichum #EVOteam #LRSV
