Newly accepted article New Phytologist. Shiqi Zhang Shiqi Zhang uses FRET sensors to reveal spatiotemporal variation in cellular phosphate content in mycorrhizal roots. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np… #mycorrhizal #fungi #phosphate #image (1/2)

In December, we hosted a photo contest for #WorldSoilDay to win an official #SPUN jumpsuit. Now, we’re happy to see PhD Candidate Jen McGaley exploring mycorrhizal nutrient exchange in her killer #myconaut uniform 🍄👏

Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 A big bunch of spores from an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus, bulging with lipid droplets. This store of fats will fuel the symbiotic #soil #fungi as they grow in search of plant-partners 🌼🌱🌻

Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 Was supposed to be taking images of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal spores... but got mesmerised by the bi-directional flow of cytoplasm in the hyphae instead! Fascinating to watch in real-time (big screen recommended) 🔬🎥

Well #ICOM11 was amazing- bring on the international Molecular Mycorrhiza Meeting #iMMM5 tomorrow! Here's a sneak preview of what you might see from the Paszkowski Lab lab... 🔬🌾🌽 #mycorrhiza #fungi #arbuscules #cereals #microscopy

Beautiful symbiotic fungal arbuscules developing in a papaya root visualized by a combination of chitin (red) and lipid (blue) fluorochromes. For more, check out our latest article by Héctor Montero and Uta Paszkowski doi.org/10.1111/tpj.15…

What have fungi got to do with wildflowers? Paszkowski Lab PhD student Raffy Hull discusses the role of mycorrhiza in wildflower meadows, while on her internship at 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Gardd Cymru 🌿 Garden of Wales 🌼🌱🍄 botanicgarden.wales/2022/08/mycorr…

Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 Haven't been posting so many of these while writing my PhD thesis, but this one had to be shared: Z-stack movie through an ivy root cell housing the intricately-branched arbuscule of a mycorrhizal #fungus 🌳🌿🌳

Our recent work on Rhizophagus irregularis is now out in preprint on BioRxiv! - 32 chromosome-scale scaffolds+ improved annotation 🧬 - Chromosomal distribution of methylation, sRNAs, gene age and expression 📈 - Tree-of-life scale comparative genomics 🌳 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Preprint alert 🚨 Really proud of this work spearheaded by the sparkling Bethan Manley. We gave a lot of 💚 to this *almost* telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of Rhizophagus irregularis biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Turned the page on my New Phytologist Plants People Planet 🌱👥🌐 calendar and what is the pic for November? Only the cover image for the *fabulous* special issue on mycorrhizas (nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/25722611/2…) published earlier this year! 🤩🍄🌱❤️ Prof Thorunn 🇮🇸 🌿 Prof David Johnson Paszkowski Lab

First mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 for a while- these root samples collected by children of Wilburton C of E Primary school were too beautiful not to share... absolutely full of mycorrhizal fungi! Great fun working with these budding mycologists Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination Crop Science Centre Paszkowski Lab

(belated) Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 Peeking into the mycorrhizal world with confocal microscopy 🔬 First image shows a small section of plant root, second shows the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi living within...

Congratulations to Professor Uta Paszkowski, who has been elected as a member of the Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften Leopoldina, the German National Academy of Sciences Paszkowski Lab 👏👏🎉 cropsciencecentre.org/news/uta-paszk…

Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 Mycorrhiza and microscopes in the newspaper! Expertly modelled by Robert Macfarlane. It's been great fun to work with Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination on this project- combining art, science, nature, and some brilliantly enthusiastic school children⬇️ cambridgeindependent.co.uk/news/artscaper…

Stunning spores from our favourite fungus 🍄🌾
