Excited to preprint work mainly by former postdocs Li Feng, Yingnan Hou @Cerhou, and the phylogenomics genius @amiralito_ @TheSainsburyLab. We found a plant defense gene family enabling pathogen gene silencing & explored engineering this pathway to boost disease resistance!

We introduce a new tool to study F-actin remodeling, ADPact, a peptide sensor of ADP-actin. Unlike Lifeact and Phalloidin, which bind both ATP- and ADP-actin, ADPact only detects ADP-actin. It neither overlaps with cofilin nor affects treadmilling 🙌🤗.
