Interested in molecular plant-microbe interactions, symbiosis, cell death, immunity and metabolism, effector biology, microbiota, CEPLAS, views are my own
Huge thanks to Balakumaran Chandrasekar and Amey Redkar for hosting a fantastic Indo-German Plant-Microbe Interactions meeting at BITS Pilani, Rajasthan. Exceptionally well organized!

Lisa Mahdi on stage at #iMMM2025 on how the core microbiota cooperate with beneficial fungi to inhibit pathogens and how dysbiotic communities instead have high competition within their members.

Everyone is excited to see how many new clues about symbiotic genes are emerging from the sequencing of individual cells/cell nuclei... Now on stage: Hector Montero from Uta Paszkowski's lab, RIKEN, Yokohama.

Eifel moors in bloom: Dactylorhiza maculata putting on a stunning show.

We are excited to share our new story with you! We show how losing a binding domain can flip an antimicrobial fungal effector into a host immune suppressor, highlighting functional specialization along the saprotrophy-to-symbiosis continuum. Read more: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In the past years become evident that emerging properties in plant-microbe interactions, such as 1. NLR resistosomes forming ion channels, 2. the cooperative activities of effectors or 3. holobionts that drive interkingdom microbial synergies, highlight how complexity creates new functionalities.🧵👇

Our latest paper is online:
"A nucleoside signal generated by a fungal endophyte regulates host cell death and promotes root colonization".
Two fungal enzymes acting cooperatively are key players in this process.
Thanks to the fantastic team of scientists. 👇
