仙台で行われた日本植物病理学会にて、学術奨励賞を賜りました。私なぞがこのような身に余る賞を頂き、大変光栄です。…死ぬほど緊張して、作り笑いすら出来きれなかった…。沢山の人と話せて楽しかったし、刺激になりました。これからも頑張るぞー！大会運営の方々には本当にお世話になりました。

🔭A team led by Sheng-Feng Shen at Biodiversity Research Center examines the complex relationship between the rate of isotherm shift and the biological responses in mountain regions worldwide. ⛰️🌡️The study has been published in nature sinica.edu.tw/en/News_Conten… #Climate #Isotherm

Happy to share the new method developed by our lab at @IPMBsinica the TIMAHAC method now is published in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics for simultaneous and high-throughput analysis of plant phosphoproteomics & N-glycoproteomics. #phosphoproteomics #glycoproteomics mcponline.org/article/S1535-…

1. We're thrilled to announce our paper on the evolution of plant NLR immune receptors has found a home at The Plant Cell ! doi.org/10.1093/plcell…🎉 This work builds on our original preprint, which you can check out here:

IPMB Academia Sinica (中研院植微所) invites applications for tenure-track faculty positions in the research areas of plants and plant-related microbes. We are a government-funded institute in #Taiwan. Review starts on Jul. 15, 2024. recruitment.ipmb.sinica.edu.tw #AcademicJobs

Please RT. Our institute is recruiting faculty members! The successful candidates will receive generous startup, annual intramural funds, and competitive grant opportunities to establish their research programs at this multidisciplinary national institution in Taipei, Taiwan.

We believe that engineering of immune proteases is a sustainable alternative for crop protection! Join the team to continue developing this promising technology supported by SNP2Prot (Deadline is June 30)

Peeled back shuck on sweet corn to expose Common smut. Smut caused by the fungus Ustilago maydis is identified by the silvery-gray galls that form on host tissue & which becomes masses of dark sooty spores. Smut can be managed w/t resistant hybrids & crop rotation #Fungi #Corn

We are thrilled to announce that concurrent session submissions for the 2025 IS-MPMI Congress in Cologne are now open! Submit your proposal by September 4. magnetmail.net/actions/email_…

I am super excited that one of the most interesting finding in my lab was published in Nature Microbiology !! Have you heard about the fungus that helps carnivorous plants digest insects? 🐜🍃

In our new review we explore how plants use β-glucans and their binding proteins to navigate between harmful, neutral, and beneficial microbes. We dive into the dual roles of these molecules in plant immunity and symbiosis. Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.pbi.… #MicrobeInteractions
