A single amino acid transporter controls the uptake of priming-inducing beta-amino acids and the associated trade-off between induced resistance and plant growth Prof. Jurriaan Ton The University of Sheffield Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil Institute for Sustainable Food IS-MPMI ASPB #PlantSci doi.org/10.1093/plcell…

A BBSRC-funded PhD position is available in our lab Plants, Photosynthesis and Soil to investigate the internal and external hard drives of plant stress memory. For further details, check it out here: findaphd.com/phds/project/b… #GARNetweets #plantimmunity #epigenetics.

A 4-year postdoc is available @PPS in Sheffield, starting between 1st Jan and 1st Mar 2023. The position is part of a BBSRC-funded project with Enza Zaden to study epigenetic immune memory in plants. See: jobs.shef.ac.uk/sap/bc/webdynp… #plantimmunity #epigenetics #MPMI #GARNetweets

Check out our paper Nature Plants: rdcu.be/c2P7e We show how plants 'remember' stress from caterpillars. This immune memory lingers for weeks, primes defence genes, and is epigenetically encoded in transposons.

*SO* damn excited to share our latest European Research Council (ERC) in New Phytologist - we've isolated, cultured and colonised Trifolium with Mucoromycotina 'fine root endophyte' and THEN show *direct* carbon-for-nutrient exchange nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11… @G_Hoysted Besiana Sinanaj #Mycorrhiza
