Molecular mimicry of a pathogen virulence target by a plant immune receptor (OA)
https://botany.fyi/54tloa

Gómez De La Cruz et al report that a plant NLR has evolved the capacity to bind to a pathogen effector by acting as a molecular mimic of a virulence target of the effector, thereby triggering an immune response.

One of the things I was able to do on the birdsite that there just isn't much opportunity to here is find out "current events" in carob by doing a search every week or so.

If you ever see a carob toot, please forward it to me, especially if it's not a tired carob hippie joke, but actual research or market or real life info re Ceratonia siliqua/#Carob

Please boost to get my request out there. Thanks so much! @plantscience

Tweet by Said Touati @epsilonov71 with two photos of carob pods in white plastic weave sacks in piles on the ground and on a truck. "Live: (emoji for Algerian flag) @ 03 Aodit: Une trés bonne production du Caroubier (word in Arabic writing) dans les hauteurs de la ville de Beni Amrane: Le caroubier est un arbre apprécié pour sa chair farineuse et sucrée. Les berbéres I'utilisaient pour ses vertus médicinales. Aug 3, 2019 - Twitter Web App"
Tweet by @TheBeerShopper with phto of an amber-colored liquid in a red wine glass next to a brown beer bottle with purple labels with gold text and decoration in an Islamic art-influenced style. Label says "Loura 3.2% vol alc. Moura cerveja de alfarroba. Carob beer." Both glass and bottle are on a white tablecloth and backlit in a clearly sunny vacation spot. Text of tweet says "Another first for me, Carob beer from in Portugal. Tasty. Now have to Google what the hell Carob is."
March 9, 2018 tweet by Emily van der Nagel @emvdn "Here's a treat I haven't had for about 18 years: carob buds, a staple at my primary school canteen in the 90s" with 3 emojis I can't make out. Photo shows view from above of a paper bag of carob "chocolate" candies held in the hand of a pale person.
*puts on flower crown, falls into a faerie circle* Replying to @CoffeeShopRabbi and @RutiRegan "THANK YOU it's just its own thing calling carob 'fake chocolate' is a lesser but similar thing to calling Hanukkah 'Jewish Christmas' 3:51 AM - Feb 11, 2020 - Twitter for Android"

Scales on the abaxial frond surface of a herbarium specimen of Asplenium ceterach. This small fern lives on rocks and in the mortar lines of brick walls in Eurasia. The scales presumably prompted the common name 'rustyback' and help with what is unusual drought tolerance for a #fern. #microscopy #photography #botany

Fascinating!
"there's endemic Mexican maize that has aerial roots that use bacterial colonies to fix nitrogen from the atmosphere."

Plants engage in intimate interactions with symbiotic microbes for the mutually beneficial exchange of nutrients. In a keystone study published in PLoS Biology, Van Deyze et al. (2018) describe the…
