www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🌱🚜 Excited to see our paper in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social ! Amazing effort by @y-song.bsky.social in collaboration with TU Delft (Neil Budko, Elisa Atza) and the Dutch potato breeding industry to harness the power of the microbiome! 🥔🔬@utrechtpmi.bsky.social
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.

Deep rooted perennial grasses—are they reliably benefitting soil #carbon persistence? We’ve got some new data on C,N, #radiocarbon, density fractions from the US Midwest and High Plains. Come discuss this afternoon! #AGU24

So animals aren’t so different from bacteria when it comes to stress induced (random) mutagenesis (e.g., elifesciences.org/articles/22939). What about plants or fungi?

During the first year of our BIOPARQUE we have achieved our first objective. We wanted to find out if humans are vectors of forest pathogens and therefore, whether forest soils with more human activity in recreational areas are acting as reservoirs of putative forest pathogens.

An ultrasensitive biosensor shows how spatiotemporal Ca2+ dynamics modulate the root cap cycle in adaptation to stress through ABA–Ca2+–CPK signalling. #PlantScience

We found something interesting in the evolution of plant microbiota. It is under review and we published the preprint today. Avi Bograd from my lab analyzed the genomes of 38,912 bacteria and identified a clear depletion of all MGE types in plant-associated bacteria vs. non-plant associated bacteria
