A good visit at Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research

My poster will be on Tuesday (15 July, 2025, 09:55 - 11:30, P-228) in the MPMI conference. Looking forward to have discussions about NLR-mediated antiviral immunity and host-virus interaction.

We found that phosphorylation and ubiquitination of AL7 fine-tune ROS homeostasis at the transcriptional level during ETI responses. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We summarize recent advances in the study of replication organelles of plant positive-strand RNA viruses, with a focus on their three-dimensional structure, biogenesis, and interactions with other cellular physiological processes. annualreviews.org/content/journa…

The discovery of the resistosome was a milestone in plant immunity. Here, we identify a kinase that phosphorylates the NLR, and reveal how this kinase regulates resistosome assembly to fine-tune immune responses. rdcu.be/eeuCr

We found that DEAD-box RNA helicase RH20 as a new positive regulator of antiviral RNAi and provide new potential targets for controlling plant viral diseases.

We used TurboID-based proximity labeling to decipher the composition of the virus replication complex (VRC) of a plant virus and unveiled a pro-viral function of NbRTNLB2 in the VRC formation. academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

Viral disease causes severe yield losses of cereal crops. Here, we cloned the first virus resistance gene encoding a typical CNL protein from the model monocot plant, Brachypodium distachyon, and demonstrated its potential for improving agricultural crops.

MAPK cascades play an important role in innate immunity. Here, we show that that beet black scorch virus activates MAPK signaling in Nicotiana benthamiana and the viral coat protein counteracts MAPK-mediated defence by competitively binding to a MAPKKKα interactor.

NbSAMDC3 interacts with and promotes the non-lysine ubiquitylation and 26S proteasome-mediated degradation of the BSMV γb protein to safeguard against viral infection,which expands our knowledge about how a plant host deploys the UPS to mount defences against viral infections.
