Six months after leaving Academia, I am back giving a lecture on #PlantScience History as Guest Speaker of the @snp2prot.bsky.social Program @unihalle.bsky.social.

Thank you @carolindelker.bsky.social for inviting & hosting me.
It was a pleasure to talk about Arabidopsis History to the students. 🙂

We show that coronatine transcriptionally activates the ABA hydroxylase gene CYP707A1 to open stomata, promoting bacterial invasion. Interestingly, within Brassicaceae, Arabidopsis thaliana and Arabidopsis lyrata possess this gene regulation, while Capsella rubella and Eutreme salsugineum do not.

The absence of this gene regulation in C. rubella and E. salsugineum is associated with resistance against coronatine-mediated stomatal opening. We then asked what drive this diversification in Brassicaceae.

I remember early experiments on CYP707A1 beginning just as I started my PhD in the Tsuda lab (then at MPIPZ Cologne) in 2015. A wonderful piece of work. Kudos to the team for their tenacity🎉

1/ New results on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social uncover a previously unrecognised mechanism of peptide perception and receptor activation.

With @cellsensing.bsky.social @unil.bsky.social we show how small structural changes underlie ligand binding specificity in conserved receptors.
