Remarkable live cell imaging of spatiotemporal dynamics of helper NLR activation at extra-haustorial and plasma membranes, while others target organellar membranes @tolgaboz.bsky.social #PPATH2026

Tolga Bozkurt @Tolga_Bzkrt highlighting the subcellular dynamics of helper NLRs before and after activation

Quite a session this morning at #BSPP26 #PPATH2026 @bspp.bsky.social showing how far our field has gone from turning basic knowledge into creative immune receptor bioengineering solutions.

We kick off with Gitta @GittaCoaker on structure-guided engineering of cell surface receptors.

Exploring natural variation as a means of generating novel forms of disease resistance and new understanding of the nature of plant immunity, from @gittacoaker.bsky.social #PPATH2026

Cryo-electron tomography of protein complexes in Magnaporthe infection structures - amazing imaging and exrraordinary potential for understanding infection biology from @delaconcepcionjc.bsky.social #PPATH2026

Inspiring overview of how to generate novel forms of wheat and rice blast resistance through understanding effector-NLR interactions from Ryohei Terauchi - here quoting Haldane's far-sighted comments on immunity #PPATH2026

Come see my poster (number 10) about Aphid cathepsin B effectors and how they influence chloroplast processes #ppath2026 #bspp zenodo.org/records/2070...

🍄 We investigated conserved cytoplasmic effectors in Fusarium as targets for resistance breeding.

Our harmonized annotation dataset for 305 Fusarium genomes is now on Zenodo.

Keynote talk from Vivianne Vleeshouwers on identifying novel sources of disease resistance in potato - late blight, phytoplasmas and how to use wild species as reservoirs of novel resistance #PPATH2026

Vivianne Vleeshouwers @VivianneTwit on how NLR and PRR immune receptors work together to resist the potato late blight pathogen, Phytophthora infestans. 🥔🦠🌱
