Nikolas and I just published our insights on CLEs in plant–bio interactions. Too short to cover everything, but we hope it gets you also excited about these peptides. Thanks to @newphyt.bsky.social for the opportunity
Marchantia polymorpha lines displaying various level of resistance after inoculation with Colletotrichum nymphaeae
What can we learn from the first GWAS on bryophyte immunity? Have these plants evolved immune mechanisms similar to or different from those of angiosperms? (Spoiler: both!)
Our latest paper is out in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2532723123 #Marchantia #Colletotrichum #EVOteam #LRSV
Picture of Marchantia accessions Tak-1 and CA inoculated with Colletotrichum numpheae for 1, 3 and 6 days.
4/9 After characterizing the infection strategy of Colleto (with the help and guidance of @baptistebio.bsky.social and @jacquet-chris.bsky.social), Karima soon realized that the #MyMarchantia accessions we have in our collection were not all sensitive to that beast !
1/9 Our latest paper on immunity mechanisms in Marchantia just out @pnas.org ! 🔽

We’re looking for a postdoc to investigate Pseudomonas viridiflava virulence across diverse plant lineages. The 3yr position will combine plant and microbial molecular biology to understand core processes of infection - email for more info & apply online @ www.jic.ac.uk/vacancies/po...
🌟 AeRLCK2 & AeCRK2: new players in immunity & symbiosis
Mutations in two Nod-independent symbiotic genes heightened disease resistance.⚡
8/9
🤷What’s new?
Unlike many model legumes, Aeschynomene evenia forms symbiosis with rhizobia without Nod factors! This makes it a unique model to explore how plants balance immunity and symbiosis with specific, Nod-independent pathways. 🦠🤝🌱

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨
Excited to share my first preprint from my PhD! 🎉
We introduce a novel Aeschynomene evenia – Aphanomyces euteiches pathosystem to explore links between quantitative resistance and symbiosis in legumes. 🌱🔬

🎉Why is this exciting?
Understanding genes like AeRLCK2 and AeCRK could help us engineer crops that resist pathogens without compromising beneficial symbiosis.
A step toward more resilient legumes! 🍀
🙏Huge thanks to @baptistebio.bsky.social, @jacquet-chris.bsky.social & all other co-authors 🙌

New year, new #pathosystem!
Yes, #Aeschynomene evenia can be used as a model to study #legume_Immunity — together with #Aphanomyces euteiches, the pea grower’s worst nightmare.
Check out our preprint on bioRxiv : www.biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... . Special congrats to @madeleinebaker.bsky.social !
Exciting new knowledge on ferns immunity, a very nice work led by @baptistebio.bsky.social, and @jacquet-chris.bsky.social !

~12 years after we coined it EPP1 with @oswaldovaldesl.bsky.social one afternoon when we were postdoc with @jeanmichelane.bsky.social!
Congrats @melaniekrich.bsky.social @tatiana-vernie.bsky.social et al. for the hard work!
EPP1 is the fourth member of the Common Symbiosis Pathway 🍄🌱!

Huge congratulations to you @baptistebio.bsky.social for leading this exciting new preprint! It's been a real pleasure co-supervising your work with @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social and watching this project grow!Your dedication and curiosity are truly inspiring. Onward to new discoveries! 🚀🌿🍀🦠#EVOteam
First post on Bluesky!! ☀️
Very happy to share that my main postdoc work ‘Systematic Discovery and Design of Synthetic Immune Receptors in Plants’ is finally out on Biorxiv!
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
The full story is summarized here:
Merci @cnrsbiologie.bsky.social !!
with a little typo in @chloe-beaulieu.bsky.social name, but that's just to have a fun story to talk about 😉
Vous aimez les plantes, mais pas que celles qui font des fleurs ? Vous souhaitez en savoir plus sur leur évolution sur la terre ferme depuis 500 millions d'années ?

This gene family, probably involved in the drought response of M. polymorpha, originates from a horizontal gene transfer from a fungi to the ancestor of land plant, later lost in seed plants. Studying Marchantia therefore enabled us to further understand how plants conquered the land! (14/18)
Great work @chloe-beaulieu.bsky.social ! Congrats again to you and @maximebonhomme.bsky.social and to our great chief @pierremarcdelaux.bsky.social for this fantastic project! Happy to be (a little!) part of it!

Special thank to @maximebonhomme.bsky.social for joining me in that crazy project!
To @chloe-beaulieu.bsky.social for the amazing work she did (She is looking for a postdoc BTW!)
To Cyril Libourel, for helping sooooo much on pretty much everything on that paper!
The End!
Marchantia for the win !

I want to emphasize 5 additional points:
Today @puginiercamille.bsky.social is presenting her fantastic PhD's work, on the amazing evolution and molecular bases of lichenization in chlorophyte algae !
