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
The latest issue of the @parasiticplants.bsky.social newsletter is now online — and for those of us with a long weekend ahead, why not start with Haustorium 1, published back in 1978?
If you know of other scientific societies with openly accessible archives, please share them in the comments.

Nicolas - with a “c”of course 😉
Big news from our lab: we can now stably edit the genome of a parasitic plant! Transgene-free, genome-edited P. japonicum in one generation! This will transform how we study #parasiticplants and other hard-to-transform plants.
