I am happy to see this out! Plant-microbe relationship (mutualistic, commensalistic, parasitic) is not fixed, but rather dynamic, depending on the specific context. We summarize the current knowledge on this. Hope you enjoy~ jstage.jst.go.jp/article/plantb…

📙From recent PCP issue (66-8): Regular Paper💐 "Shoot apex-derived CLE46 peptide signal spatiotemporally restricts #RootRegeneration in #Arabidopsis" Tatsuya Ito et al. doi.org/10.1093/pcp/pc… #plantsci

Very excited to see our Niko Geldner lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science! (1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.

This discovery traces back to the spring of 2018, when I was a postdoc in Niko Geldner ’s lab. After shifting Arabidopsis seedlings from solid to liquid culture, I observed that the root commensal bacterium CHA0 rapidly colonized Casparian strip–defective mutants.

We’re delighted to share that our paper has been just accepted in PCP! We analyzed fungus–fungus competition that suppresses pathogenic colonization in Arabidopsis roots.Special thanks to Duke, Hiroyuki, Yuki, Nanami, and everyone who contributed! academic.oup.com/pcp/article-ab…

Gemini (AI of Google) made this. Amazing...

Finally published! New paper out in Current Biology. We show how promoter variation in CYP707A1 shapes an evolutionary trade-off between stomatal defense and gas exchange in Brassicaceae. Free access: authors.elsevier.com/a/1m7H93QW8SA4…
