New pre-print alert! 📢 A comprehensive study on chemical-induced priming in oak seedlings. Led by @RosaSanchezLuc1 & Jack Bosanquet and the collaboration of @CatmaCator and @vpastorfuentes biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @BIFoRUoB

Elicitor specific mechanisms of defence priming in oak seedlings against powdery mildew

Defence priming sensitises plant defences to enable a faster and/or stronger response to subsequent stress. Various chemicals can trigger priming; however, the response remains unexplored in oak....

In several simulated examples, both intra and extra-species combinations, we found that this approach results in a dramatic reduction of the noise and virtually not false positives.

and a much more reliable estimation of transcript accumulation:

For who want to try it, #mobileRNA is a freely available and easy to use R tool available on @Bioconductor: doi.org/doi:10.18129/B9.bioc…

In the analysis of graft-mobile RNA molecules (small RNA and transcripts) in #heterografting conditions involving two #genotypes, we merge the two genomes involved into a single reference before the alignment step.

I was honored to speak at #ICAR2024SanDiego about epiRILs in #arabidopsis and what we can still learn from them about epigenetic regulation and #transposable_elements mobilisation! Thank you Jungnam Cho for arranging such as amazing session!

🚨🚨🚨We have a new manuscript on the functional role of gene body methylation. Spoiler alert: we showed that it buffers transcriptional noise by using different epigenetic mutants in plants. Excellent collaboration with @bechtis & @CatmaCator. See a tweetorial from Uli below.

Super happy to say that my first ever R package has been successfully accepted to @Bioconductor ! mobileRNA supports mRNAseq/sRNAseq analysis and expression of multiple genomes - great for plant graft or host-pathogen systems. Check it out: bioconductor.org/packages/de…
