Thanks #MICIU for considering my application for the mobility fellowship for next year! Sometimes it is worth checking emails, even on the first day of holidays. Chile, I am on my way 🇨🇱👍🏼

Congratulations to new 'Dr.' Francis C. Onjeme. A great day, not only for him but for the entire lab!!! Now you can finally become the Minister of Science in Nigeria 😉 On behalf of the complete #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social, we wish you all the best for your future!!!

Back from #pbe2025. I really enjoyed myself. I had great discussions and learned a ton. Congratulations to the local organizers for their tremendous work. #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Life is a Team game. Thus, I am very happy that I was able to give a great shout-out to my extraordinary team, after I presented our work at the #PBE2025 meeting in Budapest, Hungary. #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Super proud of our team! One of our last papers on the role of auxin distribution in plant-fungus interactions is featured on the webpage of PCE among the most read articles in the last 2 yrs: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1365... #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social 🌱🦠

Next stop PBE2025 in Budapest, Hungary. The detailed program is now online: pbe2025-budapest.org/detailed-pro... Looking forward to meeting many interesting people and to contribute to the conference on the initial Wednesday. #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

It was great fun to present our recent advances. Our collaborative efforts with other groups in the @evodevosignet.bsky.social clear highlight the importance of the Redes project.

Looking very much forward to participate in this thrilling meeting... 👇🏼

Thrilled to see our work now online @nature.com This study reveals how individual root cells sense and respond to real, compacted soil environments. www.nature.com/articles/s41... beautiful spatial transcritomics of rice root in gel & soil conditions and huge credit to Mingyuan and colleagues.

We have a postdoc position that just opened up in the Brady lab on reprogramming tomato root system architecture in response to changes in nutrient availability - please consider applying! recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF07095

We have a new Doctor form the #pollmannlab in town 👨🏻‍🎓Congratulations to Adrián to his wonderful PhD defense 🎉 Outstanding job. Also a great shoutout to the panel for the critical assessment of the work. We will surely pick up some of the points. @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social @etsiaabupm.bsky.social @upm.es

Congratulations to Pato and his team in Chile 🇨🇱. Happy to have contributed to this work on endophytic fungi 🦠enhancing strawberry resilience to drought and heat stress. sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social @upm.es

You are interested in plant-microbe symbiosis? Listen to our podcasts and get the science of the #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social explained in one-by-one discussions. pollmannlab.com/listen-to-po...

Did you ever ask yourself whether different root-colonizing fungal endophytes form similar arid environments trigger common responses in their host plants to confer increased drought tolerance? Checkout our latest paper: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #Pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Interested in the molecular mechanisms of plant-fungus interactions, and obtained your PhD after 01/23? Our group would be happy to support your application for the 2025 JdC call (short.upm.es/60nvy). We look forward to hearing from you. #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Happy to see this work on the role of root colonising fungi on strawberry VOC by my friends from Chile published. Glad that I was able to help the Chilean crew out. doi.org/10.1016/j.pl...

Twenty-two years since I defended my own thesis and currently promoting two of my PhD students to successfully defend theirs. Plant physiology still rocks after all of this time, although my hair is turning grey. #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Dear Community, we need to karyotype the chromosomes of a fungus but we have no access to CHEF electrophoresis equipment. Is anyone, preferentially in Spain/Europe, interested in a collaboration? Please, drop me a line. #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Starting at bsky with a farewell. We're wishing all the best and tons of success to our postdocs Eoghan King and Manish Patel, who will start new positions in Paris and Singapur, respectively. It was a pleasure to have you in our #pollmannlab at the CBGP.
