Congratulations team sylvia mutinda Emily Bellis Elijah Ateka Elijah Ateka and our KAUST collaborator led by Salim Al-Babili for this beautiful piece! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Are you a biologist with analytical chemistry expertise? Do you want to contribute to the control of Striga, using knowledge on the root exudate of its cereal hosts and how microbes affect that? Then apply for this BMGF funded postdoc position: vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/Postdo…

The story unwinds: cool new paper on the involvement of strigolactones in microbiome recruitment from Daniel Schachtmann, @LaskyJR and Steven Runo labs: apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PB…

Some people (I know) at a catered seminar.

Otwani Daniel Ajaku explains his PhD research project with Emma Mace and I on grain fill duration in sorghum to GRDC. His research suggests that there is considerable potential to increase grain yield and grain size in sorghum.

We’re recruiting a postdoc to contribute to research on Climate Smart Forestry - integrating genomics, phenotypes and environment into predictions for seed transfer in a changing climate. Reach out with questions! Lots of opportunities for collaboration psu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/PSU_Acad…

I am really proud to share our study on microbes, Striga and sorghum is now online in Cell Reports! doi.org/10.1016/j.celr… and the press release is here: biology.ucdavis.edu/news/soil-micr… This was an epic effort led by the incredible Dorota Kawa and many more + Harro Bouwmeester
