A glucosidase regulating specialized metabolite confers quantitative pathogen and insect resistance in maize. From: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

What do you think this corn type is?

The first cover article from the lab. In this work, we reported that a dual subcellular localized β-glucosidase ZmBGLU17 confers resistance to pathogens and insects in maize by fine-tuning lignin accumulation and DIMBOA biosynthesis. Full text: doi.org/10.1111/pbi.14…

We've updated our lab mentoring compact based on feedback from the group. Undergrad compact (hopefully) coming soon. OK to repurpose or use as a starting point for a conversation with your mentors if you find useful.

Great to have Prof. Abdullah Gera, the former director of Volcani Institute, Israel, in our department to give a seminar about ' Agricultural Research and Development in Israel and Collaboration between Chinese and Israeli Institutions: Challenges and Opportunities'

Such beautiful work, combining previously identified QTL locus and directed EMS screening for the causal gene.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!?!?!??!?

Uuuh, such interesting science! 😁 Thanks to UBC Science Michael Smith Labs for putting this nice video together, and for giving me an opportunity to show off my yellow Ikea armchair 🌻🧪🧬

Glad to see the peer-reviewed version of our review online! NLR receptors in plant immunity: making sense of the alphabet soup! A review for novices and experts alike! Out now on EMBO Reports 😎
