How do plants read chitin length? The receptor CHIP13 works like a molecular measuring tape. What began 13 years ago with a recalcitrant protein is now in @ScienceMagazine Thanks to all co-authors and colleagues! @MolBiolAU

How do "friendly" rhizobia build a legume nodule? @AlbinTeulet found that some may carry hidden transcription factors - proteins that mimic DNA-binding folds to enter the plant nucleus and rewrite its developmental program.

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?

We are excited to share our new story with you! We show how losing a binding domain can flip an antimicrobial effector into a host immune suppressor, highlighting functional specialization across the saprotrophy–symbiosis spectrum.
