Wonderful to be with the @annalsapplbio.bsky.social Senior Editors in London. I am honored to step into the role of EiC and grateful for the warm welcome. Special thanks to Ricardo for his outstanding leadership and friendship — wishing him all the very best for his upcoming retirement!

🌱 New paper out! We commonly frame diseases as one #pathogen, one host, one outcome. Here, we explore a different perspective: plants are #holobionts, complex systems intertwined with their #microbiomes, and their health depends on the stability of that entire network. doi.org/10.1093/hr/u...

🚀 New paper out! What happens below the soil doesn’t stay below the soil—it reshapes the microbiome on plant leaves 🌱 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🌱 New paper out! We present the first comprehensive review on the #Kiwifruit Vine Decline Syndrome (KVDS) — a multifactorial disease severely impacting kiwifruit production in Italy and recently reported in France and Türkiye. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🌿 How do #plants shape their own #microbiome? New insights from our latest research! 🦠 Curious to learn more? Follow this thread and read our article here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... Thanks @chemecolcm.bsky.social, Ruth, and Shuqing for this amazing collaboration!

🦠 New paper fresh out of press: the first results from a really cool system just out in #EnvironmentalMicrobiome 🦠 environmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

🦠 Thrilled to share our perspective piece "The disciplinary matrix of holobiont biology" just out in Science ! 🦠 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Hello everybody! This is my first post here 🎉, and I thought I’d share some of our recent research on the #plant #microbiome 🌱🦠. In this study we investigated how soil microbiota and herbivory drive the assembly of plant microbiomes: www.nature.com/articles/s42.... More exciting news coming up soon!
