✨ Paper spotlight ✨ Microbial drivers of root plasticity doi.org/10.1111/nph.... (🧵 1/6) Plant roots have evolved mechanisms to adjust their development within the highly heterogeneous soil matrix, integrating local environmental conditions into their endogenous developmental programs.

🚨Excited to share our new publication! MetaFlowTrain, a highly parallelized and modular fluidic system to study exometabolite interactions between microbes-microbes-plants 🌱 @hacquardst.bsky.social @herpell.bsky.social S.Wolf S.Perin @mpipz.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNUf... 🧵Thread 5/5:

‼️we are pleased to share the first work coming from my lab on biorxiv. Misregulation of the jasmonate signaling pathway leads to altered plant microbiota interaction and plant stress responses biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 1/n

Congratulations to Jana Ordon and all coauthors!!! Our new study is published in @natureplants.bsky.social "Conserved immunomodulation and variation in host association by Xanthomonadales commensals in Arabidopsis root microbiota" (0/n) rdcu.be/eauzt

Check out our new study! We show that Arabidopsis uses the EDS1-SAG101-NRG1 node to trigger rapid yet contained cell death. Key finding: NRG1C variant regulates this process by competing with functional NRG1s. Amazing collaboration between Jijie Chai and Parker Labs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
