We have a PhD position open in plant volatile interactions. Interdisciplinary project, from molecules to biological interactions. Position is open until filled. Thanks for spreading the word. ohws.prospective.ch/public/v1/jobs…

How bacteria cope with plant chemicals shapes the maize root microbiome 🌱🧫🧪 we wrote a small summary @growkudos of our PNAS article: growkudos.com/publications/1…

We are happy to announce that the registration for the 18th Symposium on Plant-Insect Relationships is open now, see: uni-bielefeld.de/sip2024

Excited the first post from PennState Center for Chemical Ecology is to announce the International Chemical Ecology short course (ICE2024)with great lecturers from around the world! in collaboration with icipe Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology @kemekol International Society of Chemical Ecology

🔥Hot off the press🔥 in eLife - the journal - our work on the temporal patterns of plant information transfer! We found that continuous exposure to natural blends of HIPVs can both prime and subsequently induce defense responses in undamaged neighboring plants. elifesciences.org/articles/89855

Thrilled to share that we isolated & characterized multihexose benzoxazinoids 🎉! Induced by drought, these #naturalproducts may impact #climate resilience in #crops.

We have an open Post Doc position in plant-volatile interactions. Ideal if you love to use molecular tools to understand the natural world and improve agriculture. Excellent PhD in a relevant field is needed. Interested? Send your CV, grades, letter and refs to [email protected]

The Penn State Biology department is also hiring at the Assistant or Associate level in ecology - feel free to message me if you're interested in joining our supportive community of biologists! psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/PSU_Academic/j…

Back again for another great summer short course in chemical ecology this time in Jena, Germany! Hope to see folks there! events.gwdg.de/event/1003/

Pretty crazy stuff. Stress volatiles trigger root responses, which reprogram the soil microbiome and thereby enhance resistanc of the next plant generation. The study is now out in Nature Plants . Link in the replies.

Super-cool work from Universität Bern and Matthias Erb lab alumni, Lingfei Hu and Jamie Waterman: stress volatiles trigger root responses that reshape the soil microbiome 🦠—helping the next generation of maize 🌽 grow stronger.

Funded PhD in ecology with Jamie Waterman at Trinity College Dublin. Explore the dynamics of plant-herbivore interactions through fieldwork and ecological analysis. Apply by June 5.
