Predicting rhizosphere-competence-related catabolic gene clusters in plant-associated bacteria with rhizoSMASH
Nature Communications - Rhizosphere microbiomes are shaped by root exudation of diverse organic compounds. Here, the rhizoSMASH algorithm is introduced, which maps microbial genes involved in their...

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia impedes Bacillus biocontrol of tomato wilt disease by degrading its lipopeptide antibiotics
Abstract. Harnessing antibiotic-producing microorganisms that antagonize pathogens represents a sustainable approach for plant disease management. However,

Linalool-triggered plant-soil feedback drives defense adaptation in dense maize plantings
High planting density boosts crop yields but also heightens pest and pathogen risks. How plants adapt their defenses under these conditions remains unclear. In this study, we reveal that maize enhance...

Such a fun project & massive team effort. We sampled tree cores my 1st yr of grad school then took a year to figure out how to grind wood… ! But we were amazed to find such a complex & unexpected ecosystem inside trees. And we’ve just scratched the surface! We explored 150 trees— 3 trillion to go!

Check out our new paper: Origin matters: mycorrhizal growth response and induced resistance to pathogens depend on mycorrhizal and pathogen source, where we show that mycorrhizal induced resistance occurs within native plant species 🌱

Origin matters: mycorrhizal growth response and induced resistance to pathogens depend on mycorrhizal and pathogen source
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are critical to native plant community ecology and influence plant invasions. Research has focused on nutritional benefits of AMF, although evidence shows that the...

Our newest research in
@nature.com
We built a robot (!) to track plant-fungal trade networks. By following half a million fungal highways & nutrient flows within them, we discovered how plants & fungi build hyper-efficient supply chains
