Peng Yu Another amazing story by Peng Yu’s lab Peng Yu #INRES Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn PhenoRob: Growth promotion of N-deficient maize by keystone rhizosophere bacterial taxon Massilia depends on flowering time!Congratulations to Danning and Peng and all involved!

My translation: a symbiosis between maize, & a Glomeromycotina fungus that penetrates the outer cells of maize roots, controls interplay between phosphorus & zinc (zinc deficiency is the predominant micronutrient shortfall in crops). cc. missimericka, via Dalia K. M. Khojely:

Just saw that the current issue of „Mais“ has highlighted our Nature Genetics paper on local adaptation of seminal root number. The cover story is on yield loss by drought stress from the Thomas Dresselhaus lab. Mais is a journal of the German Maize Committee (maiskomitee.de).
