🚨 New from the lab! In this preprint, we show how the clubroot pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae uses a PBS3-like effector (PbGH3) to hijack plant hormone signalling and reshape root development during infection 👏 We found that PbGH3 acts as a structural and functional mimic of the immune enzyme AtPBS3 (GH3.12), evidence of the evolutionary relationship between the clubroot pathogen and Brassicas 🥦 This study is now under review 🤞

🌿 New paper from the lab out in @NaturePlants! We built a single-cell atlas of Arabidopsis leaf development to ask: how does drought reshape leaf gene expression at the cellular level? doi.org/10.1038/s41477… 🧵

Saskatchewan continues to lead the world in canola innovation. BASF’s $27 million investment to expand its Canola Breeding Centre in Saskatoon will strengthen research, create jobs, and help deliver the next generation of high-performing hybrids for growers. Our province has what the world needs, and we’re proud to support the innovation that keeps Saskatchewan agriculture strong.
