Do not hesitate to apply to this position in our team!

[Preprint alert 🚩] We are glad to share our latest preprint. In this paper, we shown that uncharacterized members of LysM-RLKs LYRI-B display high affinity binding for LCOs and short/long COs and are required for AM establishment. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our new study published in Current Biology through collaboration with the Giles Oldroyd group. We discovered chitin signaling is essential for AMF symbiosis and, for the first time, identified a higher order LysM-RLK mutant that blocks AMF colonization in M. truncatula.

Congratulations to Feng Feng and Giles E D Oldroyd 🏳️‍🌈 groups for advancing our understanding of symbiotic signaling. Thanks to landry david in our team for characterizing the LysM-RLK short/long CO binding sites.

Check out the video made by TULIP students in collaboration with LRSV. They studied AMF-associated bacteria and their impact on phosphorus nutrition for mycorrhized plants. Congrats! youtu.be/eLQE1wN5tsg?si…

receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase AeRLCK2 mediates Nod-independent rhizobial symbiosis in Aeschynomene legumes academic.oup.com/plcell/article…

Excited to share our latest In Brief in The Plant Cell! 🌱✨ With Dr. Chai Hao Chiu, we highlight Horta Araújo et al.’s discovery of AeRLCK2, a Receptor-Like Cytoplasmic Kinase that drives Nod-independent nodule formation in Aeschynomene evenia. doi.org/10.1093/plcell…

Thrilled to share our new paper out in The Plant Cell ! 🌱 We identified AeRLCK2, a receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase essential for Nod-independent nodulation in Aeschynomene evenia. My PhD work done in collab. with landry david, Johan Quilbe and many others.

#ENFC2025 MtEPP1 (Medtr3g099200) was one of the most highly and consistently phosphorylated proteins (2.7-fold change), on Ser77. - Novel Positive Regulator of the Early Stages of Root Nodule Symbiosis Identified by Phosphoproteomics academic.oup.com/pcp/article/60…

Now, Kasper Andersen‘s team showed (very nicely imo) that Lotus EPP1s bind to the phosphorylated tail of activated SYMRK and then get phosphorylated by SYMRK. Lotus EPP1 mutants don’t form nodules. #ENFC2025
