We have another PhD position opening on biosynthesis and plant metabolism. academictransfer.com/en/333115/phd-…

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…

Our latest paper is out Nature Communications: "Discovery of isoflavone phytoalexins in wheat reveals an alternative route to isoflavonoid biosynthesis" nature.com/articles/s4146… Many thanks to all the collaborators on this project! Anne Osbourn John Innes Centre

More excting position on nematode and microbiome. academictransfer.com/en/334548/phd-…

Are you curious about how soil health impact the quality of our food and consequently our health? Please apply our PhD position to find out. vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/PhD-ca…

Starvation turns some #fungi into #nematode-eating #predators. Study by Yen-Ping Hsueh &co reveals increased DNA replication, translation & secretion as worm traps develop; DUF3129 proteins on trap surfaces are involved in worm #adhesion #PLOSBiology plos.io/40ShdiM

But for real though... who actually WANTS to write their thesis?

Registration is open for the 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium, organised by MiCRop - Microbial Imprinting for Crop Resilience, 17-21 June 2024, Amsterdam, the Netherlands. See symposium.microp.org for more details. We look forward to welcoming you in Amsterdam!

Fascinating talk by Klaus Schlaeppi at #PMS2024 on (soil feedback) effects of maize benzoaxizinoids

Last talk of today by Jié Hu about specialised root exudates and their role in microbiome assembly in Tomato. Poster session still to follow. #PMS2024

Great talk about bacterial gene clusters for catabolizing plant specialized metabolites by Akifumi Sugiyama #PSM2024 MiCRop - Microbial Imprinting for Crop Resilience

Exciting first day. Great to be updated on lots of wonderful microbiome work and meet many friends in the field at #PSM2024. Looking forward to the second day.

End of the #PMS2024 in Amsterdam. Wonderful week full of nice stories. Stay tuned for the next 6th Plant microbiome symposium in Melaga in 2025.

Well done, Harro Bouwmeester and Team! What a great Symposium and superb organisation. Excellent days filled with amazing Plant-Microbiome stories at #PMS2024 👏

Had so much fun today in showing kids and their parents our work on plant microbe interaction. The kids loved to capture phosphate for plant growth and reduce water pollution using our VR application.
