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 ...

Happy to see Kevin Robe’s work on ZIP transporters published. We found evidences that ZIP2 and ZIP8 are involved in Cu and Fe acquisition respectively and confirmed the role of ZIP3 and ZIP5 in Zn acquisition. journals.plos.org/plosgenetics...

If ChatGPT is doing this to the summer reading list, just imagine what it’s doing to the reference list for your Introduction!
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

Delighted to share one piece of my postdoc work in preprint: Through forward genetic screening for suberin deposition in root endodermis, we identified SUBER GENE 1 (SBG1) by GWAS as a novel regulator for suberization by interacting with Type One Protein Phosphatase. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
