#KSplant Renier van der Hoorn on apoplastic defenses; introduces Cladosporium fulvum - not exactly an "emerging topic"...
@MatthewMoscou #KSplant hmm. Looks like 3/4 in line are P.I.s Whew.
#KSplant There is a line for the microphone! Are you all trying to get a free drink... only PhD and Masters students!
#KSplant Tom Wolpert: R genes can be S genes >>> I guess S genes can also be R genes...
#KSplant Tom Wolpert: Natural variation of the LOV1 gene: apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/abs/10.109…
#KSplant Tom Wolpert: LOV1 "guards" TRX5 with victorin acting as a classic virulence effector; LOV1 and TRX5 colocalize at the PM
#KSPlant Tom Wolpert: LOV1 R-gene "guards" ATTRX5 from interacting with the virulent toxin Victorin.

#KSplant Tom Wolpert: resistance in this necrotroph pathosystem is better described as "lack of susceptibility"
#KSplant Tom Wolpert: here I am in emerging topics talking about a system "Victoria blight" I have been working on for 20 years
Last session of #KSplant is "Emerging topics"; as Chair Xin Li said, "emerging" as in new, mostly untouched topics...
#KSPlant The last session of the conference begins: Emerging topics in Plant immunity.
@Crinklers #KSplant See me tonight :)
#KSplant Free afternoon. See you back at 5PM for the "Emerging Topics" session
#KSPlant J. Neukermans: ARACINS improve resistance to fungal pathogens. Potato and maize transgenics on the way.
@Crinklers Do VV look whether the Avr is expressed or not, or only look at the DNA level whether it is present or not? #KSPlant
