Finallly, the last chapter of my PhD thesis made it out as a preprint 🌽🧫🎉 In a community maize bacteria convert benzoxazinoids to different metabolites than when grown alone www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Synthetic communities of maize root bacteria interact and redirect benzoxazinoid metabolization
Plant roots are colonised by diverse microbial communities. These communities are shaped by root exudates including plant specialized metabolites. Benzoxazinoids are such secreted compounds of maize. ...

Preprint alert: We investigated how maize root bacteria - alone vs in community - tolerate and metabolise antimicrobial compounds of their host plant. The capacity to metabolise such a toxin impacted community size, structure and importantly, fitness.

Seed tuber microbiome can predict growth potential of potato varieties - Nature Microbiology
Time-resolved drone imaging of potato crop development and seed tuber microbiome data can be used to predict potato vigour, or growth potential, in next-season crops in trial fields.

New year, new paper! Now published in @nature.com. We identified and characterised diverse immune cell states in plants under pathogen attack. My postdoc work in the Ecker lab at @salkinstitute.bsky.social. A thread (0/n)
