For the past year, Andrew D Hanson Lab and I have been co-editing a Current Opinion in Biotechnology issue on Plant Synthetic Biology 🌱🧬The full collection of perspectives from predominantly early career scientists is now online: sciencedirect.com/special-issue/…

Happy to share our last technical advance in detecting small plant peptides using ELISA. Take a look!👇 track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=Qi…

I am very excited to be a part of AFEs 2025 Plant Physiology! Looking forward to working with and learning from inspiring, experienced scientists mary williams,Plant Physiology.

Special Issue: #Mycorrhizal research now By integrating molecular, physiological, and ecological perspectives, this collection untangles interactions between #plants and #fungi and their effects on terrestrial ecosystems. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/14698137/2… Wiley Plant Science

We're recruiting: 1 PhD student, 2 postdocs and 2 lab assistants! Application deadlines in January. More details here: phytopathology.uni-kiel.de/en/open-positi…

Obligate biotrophic fungi cause some of the most devastating diseases on cereals. They are also highly difficult to study…. It is truely remarkable how well described the barley and what powdery mildews are. Here the current knowledge and summary of great resources. Enjoy!

We are excited to share our new story with you! We show how losing a binding domain can flip an antimicrobial effector into a host immune suppressor, highlighting functional specialization across the saprotrophy–symbiosis spectrum. Read more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Please check the latest preprint from our lab! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We show that the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis hijacks components of the lateral root initiation pathway to induce gall formation in maize leaves. Big thanks to everyone involved!

New publication! The mysterious nematode pheromone "Ascaroside#18" and it's potency against plant-parasitic nematodes. Tia Sabarna Bhattacharyya onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pp…

We are pleased to present our latest preprint. A comprehensive study by Mathias Brands et al. on the deconstruction of acetylated xylan by the activity of cooperative enzymes from the beneficial fungus Serendipita indica. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🔔New preprint alert! 🔔 We present the first chromosome-level genome of the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus vulnus, a major threat to walnuts in California. In addition to huge data resource, here are Key insights: 🔹 Genome size 61.7 Mb across six chromosomes 🔹 Unique,

Our new paper is out! Autophagy acts as a gatekeeper of plant–fungal symbiosis. Zecua and Dunken et al. show how Arabidopsis restricts endophyte over-colonization and symbiosis-induced cell death to keep the partnership beneficial. academic.oup.com/plphys/advance…

With a nice commentary by Mamoona Khan academic.oup.com/plphys/article…

Plz retweet. W3 position Sustainable pest control open!

Proud to share our new study nw online in New Phytologist! We showed dat the PEP2–PEPR2 signaling module plays a key role in Fe-deficiency responses and root growth in Arabidopsis.
