Apparently, barley plants can sense via their volatiles whether their neighbors are susceptible or resistant to powdery mildew. https://doi.org/10.1111/ppl.14646
In humans and animals, cytokines have been described as small proteins (peptides) for their hormone function in the control of various processes, including the control of the immune system. Martin´s group now found that plant CEP phytocytokines link plant immunity and nitrogen status [more].
The fatty acid receptor LORE confers resistance to diverse pathogens when expressed in tomatoes. https://doi.org/10.1111/mpp.70005

The new edition of Agrios´ Plant Pathology text book came out with contributions of Ralph Hückelhoven and colleagues on mechanisms and genetics of plant diseases and immunity.
Congratulations to Martin Stegmann who is leaving us for a W3-professorship at University of Ulm by April 2024.
Congratulations to our shared first authors Felix and Christina and all contributors for this important step towards understanding double drought and Fusarium stress responses in barley. doi.org/10.1093/jxb/erad348
Congratulations to Tina Steidele for her shared first authorship on microbial small cysteine-rich peptide elicitors and convergent evolution of their preception in plants. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-39208-8
The labs of Corinna Dawid and Ralph Hückelhoven joined forces to study the function of wound-induced volatiles in plant to plant signalling. https://doi.org/10.1111/plb.13487
Adriana Trutzenberg developed a RAC/ROP activity assay and shows that GEF14 is an activator of RACB in barley susceptibility to powdery mildew. BEST STUDENT PAPER in Mol. Plant Pathol. https://doi.org/10.1111/mpp.13246
Martin Stegmann and his team found golven peptides to modulate immune receptor abundance and signalling. EMBO Rep. https://doi.org/10.15252/embr.202153281
Lukas Weiß proved in vitro and in vivo posttranslational modifications of the ROP GTPase RACB. Thanks to the Küster and Kumlehn labs for great support. PLOS one: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0258924
Congratulations to Remco Stam, who is leaving us by april 2022 to join University of Kiel as a full Professor for Phytopathology.
Congratulations to Steffi Ranf, who is leaving us by february 2022 to join University of Fribourg as a full Professor for Plant Sciences. Good part of her group stays to continue the successful work on MAMP triggered immunity.
Remco Stam and friends edited a focus issue on Population Genomic- and Phylogenomic-Enabled Advances to Increase Insight Into Pathogen Biology and Epidemiology, published in PHYTOPATHOLOGY.
Parvinderdeep Kahlon managed to connect pathogen recognition specifities with geographical origin of wild tomatoes [more]
Congratulations to Felix Hoheneder for his first first author peer-reviewed paper on the effect of host genotypes and drought on Ramularia leaf spot of barley [more]
Parvinderdeep Kahlon managed to connect pathogen recognition specifities with geographical origin of wild tomatoes [more]
The receptor-like kinase MIK2 apparently functions as a Fusarium elicitor receptor [more]
Ralph Hückelhoven published a new Humboldt review on plant immunity with Isabel Saur from MPI Cologne.
Neuer Review über ROP signalling!
Martin Stegmann, ein ehemaliger Postdoc im Labor von Cyril Zipfel in Norwich, vollendendete an der TUM seine Arbeiten an der Struktur-Funktionsbeziehung eines FERONIA-LLG1/2-RALF23 Rezeptorkomplexes in der pflanzlichen Immunität. Es zeigte sich ein überraschender Mechanismus der Ligandenbindung. Die spannenden Details der Anaylse erschienen jetzt in NATURE.
Pflanzen erkennen bakterielle Metabolite über den Oberflächensensor LORE in der basalen Pathogenabwehr (mehr)
Neuer Kommentar über die Regulation von Translations- und Transkriptionskontrolle durch die Rezeptorkinase FERONIA über EBP1 (mehr).
Neue Arbeit über ein neofunktionalisiertes Retrotranspososon von Blumeria graminis. Junk DNA revival!

Gersten Alkohol Dehydrogenase-1 ist ein Anfälligkeitsfaktor gegenüber Echtem Mehltau und limitiert systemisch induzierte Resistenz in Gerste (mehr).
NADPH Oxidasen arbeiten in der Abwehr gegen biotrophe Mikroorganismen. Jetzt zeigen wir, dass eine Gersten NADPH Oxidase Blattalter-abhängig entweder in Resistenz oder Anfälligkeit gegen Echten Mehltau funktioniert (mehr).
