Excited to attend another inspiring Leiden education conference @unileiden.bsky.social
Second face: AVRcap1b blocks the stepwise assembly of a helper NLR resistosome.
Same effector, different trick. Very sneaky potato blight business.

So proud to see this story finally out!🎉 We added new data since our previous preprint—transgenic barley plants with an engineered immune receptor that fights off two fungal pathogens at once. Short 🧵 and link to the original preprint thread on X👇

Great thanks to Himanshu’s PhD monitoring committee members Remko, Salma and @jonathandgjones.bsky.social
Kudos to all generous and unconditional supports from Himanshu’s partner Priyanka and his family
Grateful to have all defense committee members’ support from Annemarie, Remko, Martijn, Sebastian, Yuling and @gillesvanwezel.bsky.social
Many thanks to Himanshu’s thesis committee members Martijn, Salma, Sebastian and @gillesvanwezel.bsky.social
Yesterday my first PhD student @himanshuchhillar.bsky.social @unileiden.bsky.social successfully defended his thesis with excellent performance
Wish you all the best, Dr Chhillar! 🇮🇳

Huge congratulations Bruno! My first phd student with @jonathandgjones.bsky.social now is a PI and today I had my first phd student @himanshuchhillar.bsky.social in The Netherlands successfully defended his thesis today! Best wishes to you both! 🩷🙏
Finally, I would to thank all my friends, families, colleagues, mentors and my past and current team members for your unconditional love and support to me and my team during the last five years with all ups and downs! 🩷💚🙏

Plants and animals respond to pathogen attack by mounting innate immune responses that require intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins. These immune receptors detect pathog...
