Assistant professor @ UMA | Junior PI @IHSM_CSIC_UMA | Exploring bacterial effectors & plant-pathogen interactions
Our new paper is out in New Phytologist! We describe how the Ralstonia solanacearum effector RipAV suppresses plant immunity by directly interfering with key defense regulators. 🧵👇

The Ralstonia solanacearum effector RipAV targets plant U‐box proteins and induces proteasomal‐dependent degradation of BIK1
Plants have developed a complex immune system to detect and respond to invading pathogens. A critical aspect of this defense relies on regulatory mechanisms that control the activation of immune res...

miR825‐5p‐regulated TNLs govern Arabidopsis resistance to Tetranychus urticae and Pieris brassicae
MicroRNAs are essential regulators in plant resistance to biotic stresses, but their specific roles in the plant–herbivore context require deeper investigation.
Here, we studied how the Arabidopsis .....
