We have extended the application deadline for the Speakers' call to 21st March! Consider sending in your application and get to bring your fascinating research to the public audience in #Düsseldorf CECAD Cologne ML4Q Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf Universität zu Köln CEPLAS

I have an open PhD position at the Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf addressing the role of extracellular RNA communication during smut fungal infections. If you are excited working with a broad range of techniques on plant-fungal interactions, this is a great opportunity.

PhD candidate Pia Saake from Alga Zuccaro group discusses the role of lipids as MAMPs in plant interactions CEPLAS

Our latest work on β-glucan is online: A GH81-type β-glucan-binding protein facilitates colonization by mutualistic fungi in barley biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really great to have room to discuss how we can make lab work more sustainable!

Preprint time! Excited to share the last chapter of my PhD work with @teamzuccaro @unikoeln MPIPZ Cologne showing how a barley glucanase can contribute to fungal accommodation. 🧵1/7

A super fun collaboration with Jens Stougard, Kasper Andersen and Simona Radutoiu that came out of participating in an excellent PhD defence by Simon Hansen, Aarhus! The symbiosis glucan receptor EPR3 binds a well-defined fungal-β-1,3/β-1,6-decasaccharide journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…

Warmest Wishes from us Alga Zuccaro

We are looking for two new doctoral researchers to join Alga Zuccaro to investigate the synergistic effects of beneficial microbes on plant adaptability and fitness under biotic and abiotic stress conditions Universität zu Köln

Thanks to #PlantACT for giving me the opportunity to present my PhD Project!

Really enjoyed contributing to this review on my PhD topic: β-glucan-binding proteins as key modulators in mutualistic plant–microbe interactions. Shout out to the fantastic Sarah van Boerdonk 🌱 & Pia Saake from Alga Zuccaro who led this work! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
