Last week, we met with district foresters from Lower Saxony to present our latest findings. The meeting was hosted by the Niedersächsische Landesforsten and provided a chance for science transfer and to discuss future forest management 🌳🌲 #Enrico #forest #Lower_Saxony

Glad to hear an exciting and insightful talk from Dr. Shelley Lumba Shelley Lumba “One signal, two modes of perception: How strigolactones are perceived by plants and fungi.” Check out this exciting work, How do plants talk to fungi? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

To all colleagues who share an interest in sphingolipids, endomembrane trafficking & membrane domain formation, pathogen-induced cell polarization and entry control, here is another potentially interesting preprint: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Check this out!! Verticillium-secreted protein (TRADE) triggers the cell identity switches of plant bundle sheath cells into tracheary elements. Congratulations to all the authors 👏👏
