Diagram describing how, when it infects apple (Malus domestica), the acid-producing fungal pathogen Valsa mali secretes VmAGP1 to hijack the receptor-like kinase MdLecRK2, triggering kinase oligomerization and subsequent phosphorylation of the vacuolar H+-ATPase MdVHAcโ€1. This cascade drives vacuolar acidification, malate compartmentalization, and cytosolic pH reduction, establishing an optimized microenvironment for fungal proliferation.

A new #preprint #OpenScience #PeerReview by @PCI_Ecology: Marcelo A. Aizen et al. Being a #treecrop increases the odds of experiencing yield declines irrespective of #pollinator dependence. #bioRxiv doi.org/10.1101/2023.04.27.538 ๐Ÿ”ฝ

@DesignedEcosystems Tonnesmeier's name sounds familiar but I haven't read his book. In 2007 I start to plant every #TreeCrop that might live in our climate, ever expanding collection.
