‼️we are pleased to share the first work coming from my lab. Misregulation of the jasmonate signaling pathway leads to altered plant microbiota interaction and plant stress responses biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/n

No joke! Pseudomonas viridiflava naturally infects wild Marchantia. Now published in Current Biology. Led by Kayla Robinson with Lucia Buric, Kris Grenz, KhongSam Chia from our group John Innes Centre, and Michelle Hulin & Dr. Wenbo Ma from The Sainsbury Laboratory -sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A breakthrough in plant gene delivery!🌱 Our new study shows that R. rhizogenes strain A4 outperforms traditional agro strains in transient gene expression, especially in solanaceous crops like tomato and pepper. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb… 📄Published in Plant Biotechnology Journal

Thank you so much for hosting me, Chih-Hang Wu! Had an amazing few weeks in your lab at IPMB Academia Sinica (中研院植微所) , and it was great to achieve some really nice collaborative results. Big thanks to all your lab members and to the NSTC-RS Exchange Programme. Looking forward to continuing our

It's finally out! On the activation of RRS1-R/RPS4 paired NLRs!! Thanks to Jonathan D G Jones for this opportunity to work on this project, and thanks to all the coauthors for their effort and support! Thread to follow The Sainsbury Laboratory Institute of Molecular Plant Sciences

Had a great time speaking about my research at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (The Chinese University of Hong Kong - CUHK ) and connecting with many young scientists in my hometown Hong Kong. Big thanks to Prof. Xiaohong Zhuang for the invitation. Looking forward to doing some confocals here in the next

🔥Super excited to share our latest work out now in Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… This paper describes the discovery of "glycosyrin" a small molecule produced by the bacterial pathogen P. syringae to manipulate glycobiology inside host plants during infection.🧵1/20

Tweeps, please spread the word. We're still looking at recruiting a structural biologist (any level) Sophien Kamoun to study plant-pathogen protein complexes especially in the context of coevolution. Direct inquiries welcome. Please include a cover letter. Applicant from US

Please check out the improved, and peer-reviewed version of our work now published on Plant cell 😀🥳🥳🥳 Nick Talbot The Sainsbury Laboratory academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be joining ZMBP as a Junior Group Leader in October 2025! My lab will explore the functional and structural diversity of plant immune receptors. 1/2 #NewPI #PlantImmunity #NLRs #PlantScience #StructuralBiology

1/🚨 New preprint alert! Can mutualists and pathogens co-colonise the same living plant cell and what does that do to the plant membranes that surround these microbes?

New Postdoc position (2yrs) available in our #EvoMPMI lab John Innes Centre. Come and work with on harnessing the diversity of immune mechanisms to protect plants. jobs.jic.ac.uk/Details.asp?va…

Single-cell-resolved calcium and organelle dynamics in resistosome-mediated cell death biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_plants

Massive #NLRbiology paper drop by Yi-Feng Yi-Feng Chen Chih-Hang Chih-Hang Wu and colleagues 👏 "Single-cell-resolved calcium and organelle dynamics in resistosome-mediated cell death." doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

I’m excited to share our latest preprint on the cell biology of plant hypersensitive cell death! 🌱💥 We used live-cell imaging to unravel what happens after resistosome activation—one of the least understood phases of plant immune responses. doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Excited to share that our preprint is out! We’ll be at IS-MPMI presenting two posters on this project: 💥7/14 – P-387: Calcium & resistosome dynamics during cell death 🍃7/16 – P-449: Organelle dynamics during cell death Feel free to stop by!

An effector from the potato late blight pathogen bridges ENTH-domain protein TOL9a to an activated helper NLR to suppress immunity biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_plants

Effectors still rock 🎸 10 years after they were declared dead 😵 #EffectorWisdom

Thrilled to share our latest bioRxiv! This work started during my PhD and was finished together with Jogi Madhuprakash. We found a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector that bridges a host TOL protein to activated NLRs to suppress immunity! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/15

#2025ISMPMI Tolga Bozkurt introduces the effector and immune processes occurring at Phytophthora haustoria. The helper NRC4 localises to haustoria and upon activation inserts itself into the extrahaustorial membrane forming punctuate foci. It seems activated NLRs beep annoyingly.
