Our Mini-review is out now! Here we collect recent findings of RALF peptide functions, adress their (potential) roles in plant-microbe interactions and discuss the resulting emerging questions. Pls share!

The interplay of RALF structural and signaling functions in plant-microbe interactions
Rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) peptides are important signaling molecules binding to Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinase 1-like (CrRLK1L)—LORELEI/LORELEI-like GPI-anchored protein complexes t...

Splicing was discovered in adenoviruses, but was thought to be only anecdotal in plant viruses... We may need to revisit plant viral transcriptomes and proteomes!
How do geminiviruses maximize their limited coding capacity? Our recent preprint uncovers splicing of viral transcripts as one more strategy used by this viral family. We show that RNA splicing is prevalent in the geminivirus TYLCV — and required for infectivity! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Pervasive splicing in a plant DNA virus
Viruses maximize their limited coding space through strategies that increase transcript and protein diversity. In mammalian viruses, splicing is a well-established mechanism for proteome expansion, ye...
