Localized glutamine leakage drives the spatial structure of root microbial colonization
Plant roots release exudates to encourage microbiome assembly, which influences the function and stress resilience of plants. How specific exudates drive spatial colonization patterns remains largely ...

Engineered geminivirus replicons enable rapid in planta directed evolution
Directed evolution can rapidly generate genetic variants with new and enhanced properties, yet efficient platforms for performing such evolution directly in plant cells have been lacking. We developed...

Happy to share the new article from my former lab at IBMCP — the final chapter of my PhD!
We optimized geminivirus-based vectors for the controlled expression of recombinant proteins in plants, using autobioluminescence as a real-time reporter 💡🧬🌱

Inspiring time at @ismpmi.bsky.social, where I had the honour of sharing my PhD work on repurposing viruses for plant biomanufacturing. It was great to reconnect with old friends (special shoutout to @geminiteamlab.bsky.social 💚) and meet so many researchers pushing plant–microbe science forward 🌱🧬🧫
