Come to Florence for a nice session on plant microbiota (P6) with Corné Pieterse @cornepieterse.bsky.social, Sofie Goormachtig @goormachtig.bsky.social and Kathrin Wippel as invited speakers. 10 speakers will be selected upon abstract submission.

Updated preprint: MMF1 is "a microbiota receptor” through which Arabidopsis plants perceive their soil microbiome. Perception optimises root microbiome composition, immune status and ultimately leads to better growth. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Plant specialised metabolites modulate the molecular signatures of host-bacteria and bacteria-bacteria interactions https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.06.06.658260v1

Pipeline release! nf-core/genomeassembler v1.0.0 - 1.0.0 - Lead Pigeon! Please see the changelog: https://github.com/nf-core/genomeassembler/releases/tag/1.0.0

Excited to share my postdoctoral work from Basel! We discovered a “microbiota receptor” in Arabidopsis that optimises plant immunity, the root microbiome composition, eventually leading to enhanced plant growth.

Preprint alert: Here we report MMF1 - "a microbiota receptor” - through which Arabidopsis plants perceive their soil microbiome. Perception optimises root microbiome composition, immune status and ultimately leads to better growth. Happy reading... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
