Thank you Nick for your kind words and unwavering support 😊. It was an honor to be part of the TSL community. I look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and contribute to its continued success.
@TheSainsburyLab @Yufeili15 @wenboEffector @Jian_MinZhou Thank you and good luck @Yufeili15 ! Enjoy your new adventure with Jian-Min Zhou.

New preprint! We report the largest plant resistosome ever described. We revealed the wheat NLR WAI3, a member from the mysterious CCG10-NLR clade, forms an unprecedented octameric assembly with a unique channel architecture. And the well-known RPS2 might work the same way!

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!

Aphids hijack plant immunity via p-bodies, but plants fight back with a heat shock protein in an unexpected twist on defense.

Thrilled to share an aspect of my PhD project on the discovery and characterisation of a novel group of 'phosphorylated' effectors deployed by the rice blast fungus during infection. With @talbotlabTSL @Frank_Menke @NeftalyCM @TheSainsburyLab #2025ISMPMI

Thrilled to share our latest @biorxivpreprint! This work started during my PhD and was finished together with @JMadhuprakash. We found a Phytophthora infestans L-shaped effector that bridges a host TOL protein to activated NLRs to suppress immunity! https://t.co/1o24A1Rp2s 1/15
