月曜日、ラボの大掃除と忘年会をしました。きりたんぽとラムしゃぶをしました。 今年一年、大きな事故もなく乗り越えることができました。来年は初めての卒研発表や修士の学生など、新しい挑戦が続きます。来年もRTNakano Labをよろしくお願いします。 皆さま健やかで安らかな新年をお迎えください！

It was my last day in my office 2024, and I’ll be out of office until Jan 5, 2025. If you need my immediate response, please DM. I wish you a happy holiday and a pleasant and peaceful 2025🎉🎉🎄

1月31日は北大理学部 北海道大学理学部 生物科学科（生物学専修）の卒研発表会でした。中野研の稲垣さんは、根圏常在細菌による宿主免疫・生長制御への干渉に注目し、その活性を担う分泌性因子を探索するプロジェクトについて発表しました。総勢46枚のポスターは圧巻で、弊学科の明るい未来を確信しました！

Please see an important message from the Society regarding our commitment to the plant science community: blog.aspb.org/aspb-reaffirms….

Very powerful and encouraging statement from ASPB. "The Society remains committed to robustly supporting and strongly advocating for diversity and inclusion in the plant sciences, period." Bravo👏 blog.aspb.org/aspb-reaffirms…

Kudos to all involved in writing up this statement! We, from a small island floating on the Pacific, continue to value the diversity and inclusiveness of our people and communities and appreciate all efforts to create a safe space for everyone.

Extremely enjoyed the time with my former MPIPZ Cologne colleagues, discussing about the root immunity and its link to leaf immunity at the JSPP conference 日本植物生理学会 Jpn. Soc. Plant Physiol. (JSPP) Plant Cell Physiology. Thanks a lot Ken Kenichi Tsuda and Klaus for joining us!!

So honored to be a part of this great team. Kudos to Tonni Tonni Grube Andersen and Defeng and all involved. Congrats, guys!!

So excited to announce that the first JSPP-ASPB joint symposium takes place at #plantbiology2025 in Milwaukee this summer. Five rising stars from Japan and the US will showcase their latest research, facilitating a melting pot for future collaborations. Please drop by and enjoy!!

We often measure AM fungal colonisation assuming it tells us something about function. But… what does it tell us? A short Letter in New Phytologist where I ask what root colonisation really means for plant growth, P uptake, and defence. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…

I'm thrilled to have the chance to give a talk at Yang and Paulo's concurrent session at the IS-MPMI Congress@Köln. It was a last-minute change, and I'm not on the online program yet, but I will be there to introduce our current work on host immune manipulation by commensals!

Wednesday afternoon's concurrent session. Looking forward to having stimulating discussions with you all!

RTNakano Lab Reunion - it’s always good to see the former members of the lab enjoying their life. Gözde Merve Türksoy and Zoe are doing their PhD with Stan Kopriva and Bart Thomma, stay tuned for their upcoming work!!

Thank you for visiting my talk! I hope to bring a more complete story to the next MPMI congress, and if you are keen on joining pur team, do not hesitate to contact us at any time!!

Our new review paper is out in a special issue of Plant Biotechnology!! We discuss the role of alkaloids in the rhizospehre. Please check it out!! "Alkaloids as mediators in plant-microbe interactions: Metabolism and role in the rhizosphere" doi.org/10.5511/plantb…

New members in the lab!🤘🤘🤘
