PhD'ing in molecular plant science 🌾🦠

Super excited to see my main PhD project finally out in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41.... We show for the first time that a synthetic and engineered pathway can indeed exceed nature at one-carbon fixation.
One-carbon fixation via the synthetic reductive glycine pathway exceeds yield of the Calvin cycle - Nature Microbiology
An engineered one-carbon-fixation pathway increases biomass yields of Cupriavidus necator compared with the Calvin cycle and can support future, sustainable bio-based production.

Most plants can`t handle salt, but have evolved strategies to survive in it. How do they do it?🌱🧪

Excited to share some of our first insights using a new cryoelemental imaging technique to answer these questions at the subcellular scale!(1/8)

Elemental cryo-imaging reveals SOS1-dependent vacuolar sodium accumulation - Nature
This study demonstrates that cryo nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (CryoNanoSIMS) enables direct multi-elemental imaging at subcellular resolution of macro- and micronutrients or trace elemen...

Here is a preprint with potential interest to those fascinated by host-microbe interactions, abiotic stress adaptation, xylogenesis, P bodies & mRNA turnover, and extended phenotypes induced by microbial effectors: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... (1/5)
A single pathogen-secreted protein reprograms plants for drought resilience
Climate change-enforced drought stress conditions and diseases caused by pathogens often co-occur and represent one of the greatest challenges in plant science. Wilt pathogens that colonize water-cond...

The team has successfully developed #rice varieties through marker-assisted backcross breeding that are #resistant to bacterial blight. They will be transferred to partners in #Madagascar and #Tanzania, where they'll be tested in the field before they are distributed to local farmers.
New approaches in the fight against bacterial rice disease
An international research team, the “Healthy Crops” consortium, has developed rice varieties resistant to a detrimental crop disease in East Africa and Madagascar. The new varieties are resistant to b...

Plant plasmodesmata bridges form through ER-dependent incomplete cytokinesis
Diverging from conventional cell division models, plant cells undergo incomplete division to generate plasmodesmata communication bridges between daughter cells. Although fundamental for plant multice...

🌱 🔬 We asked how organ formation in the outer region of plant meristems affects the stem cell zone in the center, and found that the transcription factor SHORTROOT, which controls cell identities in the root, acts as a mobile signal between regions in the shoot meristem🪴📃
