Our Mini-review is out now! Here we collect recent findings of RALF peptide functions, adress their (potential) roles in plant-microbe interactions and discuss the resulting emerging questions. Pls share!

The interplay of RALF structural and signaling functions in plant-microbe interactions
Rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) peptides are important signaling molecules binding to Catharanthus roseus receptor-like kinase 1-like (CrRLK1L)—LORELEI/LORELEI-like GPI-anchored protein complexes t...

Hello beauty😍
Perfect entry point with arbuscules of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus in roots of Lotus japonicus.

Nitrogen-fixing symbiosis in its perfection 🥹
Microscopy can be tiring, but finally you can SEE what you work with and the beauty of it 😍

One of my microscopy picture was selected for the exhibition at the Botanical Garten of Munich about plant-microbe interactions "From visible to invisible"🌱
Always interesting to see how scientific images can be a bit artistic!

Always fun to share my research in front of my peers🌱
@maryspezz.bsky.social getting ready to introduce us to SymRK and the adaptations it underwent to gain unique functions in root nodule symbiosis #PlantScience #TRR356
