New Article: "N-glycosylation code diversifies paralogous chitinases to balance plant immunity and growth" rdcu.be/FYUFGfiTi8Xa Two chitinases that produce or degrade immunogenic chitin oligomers => plants that gain chitin-triggered fungal resistance without a growth penalty.

🌱 Excited to share our work is now published in @PNAS! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26… How do plants turn a local wound into a whole-plant defense? Our study identifies CNGC13, a vasculature-localized Ca²⁺ channel that contributes to systemic defense response

La nouvelle est sortie! Je suis très heureux de représenter le Québec à l’Académie royale de Belgique, dans le cadre de la Chaire du Québec organisée avec la Délégation générale du Québec à Bruxelles 🇨🇦 💙 🇧🇪 Les 2 et 3 décembre, je donnerai deux conférences grand public sur les insectes, l’agriculture durable et la sécurité alimentaire : 🐛 2 décembre: Les insectes disparaissent-ils ou changent-ils d’adresse ? 🔗 : academieroyale.be/fr/le-coll… 🐝 3 décembre: Guêpes, microbes et autres alliés pour protéger les cultures avec moins de pesticides 🔗 : academieroyale.be/fr/le-coll… Ce sera aussi une semaine d’échanges et de collaborations autour de la place du Québec dans la science francophone. Si vous êtes à Bruxelles ou ailleurs en Belgique, venez nous voir! Les conférences sont gratuites et ouvertes à toutes et à tous 😊 @CRSNG_NSERC @RqradQc @LeafHopeCan @universitelaval @MRIF_Quebec

Paper out. Great collaboration with Hailong Guo lab. Basically, we try to answer the questions: Where have all the ADR1s gone? And why does it matter? We found something interesting and left puzzles to be solved academic.oup.com/plcell/adva…

PRI faculty member Gregg Howe recently spoke with @PNASNews about his career trajectory, from how he first became interested in plant immunity to his more recent research on how plants balance growth and defense. Read the full Q&A: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26… #PlantScience
