Seedling microbiota engineering using bacterial synthetic community inoculation on seeds FEMS Microbiol Ecol by Gontran Arnault et al from Marie Simonin academic.oup.com/femsec/advance…

Really proud of this one! Fantastic work by PhD student Gontran Arnault 🎉 Effective microbiome engineering of bean seedlings using synthetic community inoculation on seeds 🌿 SUCSEED EmerSys-IRHS With support from INRAE #Holoflux & Pays de la Loire Region

Quick plot made yesterday to highlight disparity in the number of studies between the different plant microbiota compartments over time. The seed microbiota team is catching up ! ⏳🫘 🦠

Are you soon defending your PhD? 📢We are recruiting a "Junior" Postdoc on Plant-Soil Microbiome research in the Biodiversa+ (European Biodiversity Partnership) Grass4Fun project Join the EmerSys-IRHS team in Angers, France with great partners ManuDelgadoBaquerizo @PabloGarciaPal Prof. Franciska de Vries 🦠🍄🪱🌱🍂🌍 van der Heijden Lab More👇

Fantastic work led by Joubert Oscar! If you are interested in the ecological processes behind seedling microbial colonisation, be sure to check it out:

Really proud to see this opinion piece led by Joubert Oscar out in the world 🍾🥂 We can use knowledge on ecological processes to improve plant microbiome engineering Check it out 👇

On my way to Lyon for the SFE2_2024🚆 Tuesday at 12h, I will give a talk in the Microbial Ecology session on the ecological processes at play during plant microbiota assembly using SynComs 🌿🦠 Fantastic work of the soon to be Dr Gontran Arnault in the SUCSEED EmerSys-IRHS
