Esther Lederberg was a pioneer in bacterial genetics, though she did not receive the professional recognition bestowed upon men whose achievements were intermixed with her own. Recognizing her contributions is key to bringing her legacy out of the shadows.

#2025ISMPMI @Tolga_Bzkrt introduces the effector and immune processes occurring at Phytophthora haustoria. The helper NRC4 localises to haustoria and upon activation inserts itself into the extrahaustorial membrane forming punctuate foci. It seems activated NLRs beep annoyingly.
