EPP1 is an ancestral component of the plant Common Symbiosis Pathway
The success of plants on land has been enabled by mutualistic intracellular associations with microbes for 450 million years ([Delaux and Schornack 2021][1]). Because of their intracellular nature, th...

I repeat, the Common Signalling pathway for symbiosis is on fire! Kudos to our colleagues from Toulouse 🍄🌿

A Novel Positive Regulator of the Early Stages of Root Nodule Symbiosis Identified by Phosphoproteomics
Abstract. Signals and signaling pathways underlying the symbiosis between legumes and rhizobia have been studied extensively over the past decades. In a pr

Our findings suggest that EPP1 serves as a key molecular bridge between plasma membrane signaling and downstream responses doing root nodule symbiosis, helping to close a long-standing gap in the field.
Congratulations to everyone involved in this work!

We’re thrilled to share our latest preprint!
In this study we provide a mechanistic insight into how the protein EPP1 (first identified in Rose et al., 2012) functions in partnership with SYMRK.

EPP1 couples receptor activation to cytoplasmic signaling in root nodule symbiosis
Legume symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria is controlled by a cascade of signaling events leading to root nodule development. While plant cell-surface receptors initiate this process, the link bet...

Very proud to share our latest preprint: postdoc/LRSF fellow Yue Rui studies the mechanisms regulating attachment of the cell wall to the plasma membrane. The Cellulose Synthase Complex and REMORINs determine the extent of attachment and root osmotic stress tolerance. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
