Extremely delighted to share our research into "engineering the engineer" which is now out π¨βπ§π¦ π± Efficient CRISPR-mediated base editing in Agrobacterium spp. pnas.org/content/118/2/β¦ Very grateful to all co-authors π Laurens Pauwels @laurenspauwels.bsky.social Barbara De Coninck π±π

Together with my first PhD student Savio Rodrigues and his co-supervisor Laurens Pauwels @laurenspauwels.bsky.social we aimed at optimizing the generation of #Agrobacterium mutants in order to study their interaction with plants. So happy to see our work being published. pnas.org/content/118/2/β¦



Please join us at the online Agrobacterium 2021 meeting which will be organized by Barbara De Coninck π±π Laurens Pauwels @laurenspauwels.bsky.social @GoossensLabVIB and Hans Rediers on 11-12 October 2021


We had a very fruitful first day of our writing retreat. Tomorrow weβll finish those manuscripts πPHP-Lab ππ π



Liese Vlasselaer presenting her recent PhD work on the microbiome of hydroponically grown lettuce upon infection with Phytophthora cryptogea miCROPe. Research in collaboration with PHP-Lab ππ π and Team PME&BIM. Proud supervisor π₯¬



Busy week PHP-Lab ππ π. Yijie Zhao π° presented her work on strawberry and Botrytis at #ISC2022, Kilian Van Loocke presented his work on lettuce and biocontrol at SABB and HΓ¨ba Ibrahim presented her work on induced systemic resistance at the EOS FWO-FNRS workshop. Well done!

π Huge congrats to Savio Rodrigues for securing a prestigious FWO postdoctoral fellowship in collaboration with PHP-Lab ππ π and Laurens Pauwels @laurenspauwels.bsky.social . π± Excited to see him dive further into the fascinating interaction between rhizogenic agrobacteria and Arabidopsis π¬π§ͺ


And now itβs the plant pathologists at #TRIC23 kicking it off with Barbara De Coninck π±π KU Leuven Open Science Chair: Julia Bailey-Serres


Letβs start the Agrobacterium23 Conference I2BC Paris-Saclay with a great talk of Barbara De Coninck @Barbaraconinck from KU Leuven KU Leuven Plant Institute on the development of tools to unravel the interaction between rhizogenes agrobacteria and plant roots


NGTs can provide us with plants which are climate resilient, require reduced input of pesticides/fertilizers and/or possess higher nutritional value. The possibilities with NGTs are endless and can lead us to a green future! #GiveGenesAChance GeneSprout Initiative π Γko-Progressives Netzwerk e. V. @letsreplanet
