1/🚨 New preprint alert! Can mutualists and pathogens co-colonise the same living plant cell and what does that do to the plant membranes that surround these microbes?

Excitingly, we also made it on the cover of the current issue of @theplantjournal.bsky.social with some of my #microscopy images checking for #immunofluorescence signal of FLAG-tagged cytochrome c6A in #chlamydomonas!

Intracellular pathogens can form extensive hyphal structures. Here, the pathogen Phytophthora palmivora (magenta) produces invasive hyphae in a living epidermal cell of a Nicotiana root. The plant surrounds the invader by an 'extra-invasive hyphal membrane' (yellow)📸 @alexguyon.bsky.social

Preprint! w/ C. Strullu-Derrien,R.Wightman,L.P.McDonnell, G.Evans,F.Fercoq,P.Kenrick & A.Ferrari An ancient plant symbiotic fungus with distinct features identified through advanced fluorescence & Raman imaging @slcuplants.bsky.social @nhm-london.bsky.social Cambridge Graphene Centre @mnhn.fr

We are thrilled to have been awarded a silver-gilt medal at our first Chelsea Flower Show! 🪻 An enormous thank you to everyone who contributed to this success - @eng.cam.ac.uk, Darwin Nurseries and Oakington Garden Centre! #RHSChelsea @cambridgeuni.bsky.social

Great to see this out in the wild now!

Hi all, finally got around to making a Bluesky account. Looking forward to seeing all the cool work here and sharing some of my own!

Great start to the final day of #ICIPS2025 with a talk by @dromius.bsky.social showcasing the work of @davidjhoey.bsky.social about genetic control of marchantia reproductive strategies
