HMA proteins produce 2',3'-cNMP signaling molecules and activate CNL-mediated immunity in rice biorxiv.org/content/10.648… #biorxiv_plants

A unique Rubisco subunit from the hornwort plant carries a built-in extension that enables the enzyme to cluster into carbon-concentrating structures like algae, according to a new Science study—an innovation that successfully triggered similar condensates when introduced into Arabidopsis plants. The findings reveal a novel and evolutionarily independent solution for Rubisco condensation in land plants and open the door for engineering similar systems in agricultural crops to potentially boost nutrient efficiency and yield. 📄: scim.ag/3OQDBr4 #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/4udcg2k

Happy International Day of Woman and Girls in Science! 👩‍🔬🧫🌳. A great day for Sophia Liberto’s first PhD paper to be published apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PH… Here is a complete genome resource for bacterial canker pathogens combined with host range data 🧬 @michiganstateu

Check out our recent preprint on the structure of a non C-JID TNL resistosome from flax. We are very proud of the persistence of Natsumi who got this long running project over the line and a congratulations to all involved. Check it out... doi.org/10.64898/2026.…

Fond farewell to ⁦@vinniman⁩ who has made such a great contribution to ⁦@TheSainsburyLab⁩ and been in my group since Exeter days, but will start a new adventure ⁦@JohnInnesCentre⁩ !

Got my phD yesterday! Can't thank my supervisors @KamounLab @Phil_Carella & examiners enough. Starting with @jonathandgjones 6yrs ago and now a new stage with the @nobolly group..this journey would've been so different without the love & support of all my friends and peers here♡

The Sainsbury Laboratory is delighted to announce that it has received $2 million in funding as part of @Googleorg 's $20 million AI for Science Fund to support organizations focused on cutting-edge AI for science research. @KamounLab @NorwichResearch tsl.ac.uk/news/the-sains…

Huge congratulations to @HsuanPai1 on defending her PhD thesis by publication - a first at TSL. Such a PhD at UEA requires many years of research and many publications with significant intellectual input. A great example of what can happen when someone is given the space to grow.

My great honour to have the support from TSL 🥹 And humongous thanks again to @mpcontreras4 for initiating the idea & kept encouraging me to do the phD by Publication program. Now TEAM PAU has upgraded 😆😝🫶
