I was in a meeting where we talked about summer projects for undergraduates interested in plant science, & someone shared this link 💚 @apaterlini.bsky.social Some deadlines are as early as January, so pass this on to those who might be interested! www.plantsciencefutures.org.uk/work-experie...

Localized glutamine leakage shapes root microbiome @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social Spotlight from Zheng Qing Fu/Youxiong Que on the recent publication by @hueihsuantsai.bsky.social et al from @nikogeldner.bsky.social www.cell.com/trends/micro...

Localized glutamine leakage shapes root microbiome

Root exudates are vital for guiding microbial dynamics in the rhizosphere. Nevertheless, the key component in root exudates responsible for defining the root microbiome has remained obscure. Tsai et a...

Talk and Poster prizes at #PMS2025 Well done all presenters!!! 👏 including @courtneyherms.bsky.social @hueihsuantsai.bsky.social and @dgarrs.bsky.social

Our article "Guns in Rosettes: The Arabidopsis chemical weapons arsenal" is finally published @plantphys.bsky.social! You can download the #OpenAccess PDF here: doi.org/10.1093/plph... But real connoisseurs of #AntimicrobialCompounds will want to get the vinyl boxset: #PlantScience #PlantImmunity

Localized glutamine leakage drives the spatial structure of root microbial colonization

Plant roots release exudates to encourage microbiome assembly, which influences the function and stress resilience of plants. How specific exudates drive spatial colonization patterns remains largely ...

Very excited to see our @nikogeldner.bsky.social lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science! (1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.

Using precise spatial and temporal analysis, researchers in Science provide insight into how bacteria around the root interact both with the plant and with each other. Learn more in this week's issue: https://scim.ag/3WgNajk

My poster is up and ready at #2025ISMPMI! Curious why bacteria show spatial colonization preferences on roots? If you want to know more, come visit my poster P-248, on Thursday, 13:30–15:15
