www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🌿 Excited to share our Primer on fungal endophytes, the elusive members of the fungal kingdom that defy easy classification. Neither pathogens nor symbionts in the strict sense, they challenge how we define ecological guilds. @umr-iam.bsky.social

Yesterday we presented our work on the impact of 🌳🌲 conversion to 🥑 orchards on soil microbial communities at #ISMELat2025. If you're in Mérida and want to know more about how pathogens modulate the 🥑 rhizosphere #microbiome, I'll give a talk tomorrow in the "host-microbiome" session.

In our review of CMNs, water stood out as a resource that might be transferred between plants via fungal connections. This new study provides further support (and in DSEs!). Nice expt by Bea Bock et al 👍 Great to see new research. doi.org/10.1038/s420...

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We are proud to have so many brilliant female scientists in our #IAM department! 👩‍🔬🎓🍄🦠🧫🔬🌳🌲📊 We must never give up on #equality, #diversity & #inclusion 💪 #WomenInScience #WomenInSTEM @inrae-france.bsky.social @univlorraine.bsky.social

Today in our weekly @umr-iam.bsky.social seminar, @gpandharikar.bsky.social introduced us to the fantastic world of poplar roots and of the role of triterpenes for fungal colonization 🍄🤝🌱

Imagine you could reconstruct and separate environmental impacts on complex metabolic processes from tree rings 🌲 - multidimensional isotopic fingerprints might make it possible: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Excited to share our new study in @naturecomms.bsky.social showing that soil fungi, unlike bacteria, remain fully active under severe drought conditions, and also invest in synthesis of storage compounds. Led by the amazing @loutsi.bsky.social and Alberto Canarini. Thread 1/2 rdcu.be/d1Tyg

#Introduction We study the effects of plant pathogens on the plant microbiome, using #meta-omics. Our main model is 🥑 and we have investigated diseases such as #Fusarium dieback or #Phytophthora root rot. Some papers here 👇
