For liverwort mavens, I've needed to shift our Marchantia resources to a new website (I've reached retirement from academia in Cambridge) - and the plant synthetic biology stuff has moved to haseloff-lab.info
(Now have more time for DIY builds! Updates to come)

Our new paper in Mycorrhiza (not open access)! AM and ECM symbiosis in Eucalyptus grandis show distinct transcriptional responses with little overlap, indicating unique downstream pathways rather than simply co-opting AM symbiosis genes.

So proud to see this story finally out!🎉 We added new data since our previous preprint—transgenic barley plants with an engineered immune receptor that fights off two fungal pathogens at once. Short 🧵and link to the original preprint thread👇

Csaba Gellért et al. highlight how legumes employ elements of their immune system for the negative selection of rhizobia via processes resembling the gene-for-gene model of effector-triggered immunity in plant–pathogen interactions.
