"Leaf It to Science: Uncovering Plant Immune Systems Through Technological Advances Open Access"

Reflections on Career, #PlantScience and #PlantImmunity by Xinnian Dong

academic.oup.com/plphys/advan...
Abstract For the past two years, I have been contemplating how best to write this review that not only reflects on a few significant and nostalgic moments in my more than three decades of professional career in the molecular plant-microbe interaction (MPMI) field, but also offers my personal outlook on the future aimed at inspiring young scientists to join this exciting discipline. Rather than a comprehensive overview, I would like to place greater emphasis on the “whys” and the “hows” than the “whats”. I finally decided to use technological advancements critical for the development of our field as a thread to connect the past with the future. Founder's Review
