One of my microscopy picture was selected for the exhibition at the Botanical Garten of Munich about plant-microbe interactions "From visible to invisible"🌱
Always interesting to see how scientific images can be a bit artistic!

Thanks Sebastian @pfeilmeier.bsky.social for coming to the @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social for a #TRR356 seminar. We have all enjoyed discussing with you about #MPMI, Xanthomonas, hydathodes and more!

And that’s a wrap for the #TRR356 “Plant-Microbe” PhD & PostDoc retreat at beautiful Frauenchiemsee 🌿

We enjoyed talks from within the TRR and from our fantastic invited speakers, along with an engaging poster session, workshop, and career development discussions.
A truly great event!

Thanks to @incavirus.bsky.social for talking about an argonaute protein, that restricts viral infection from parent to progeny in plant gametes.🦠 His team's findings unveil the first known antiviral mechanism of that kind!

Thanks as well to @carogutj.bsky.social for hosting the #TRR356 seminar!

I am very happy to see that finally out. Great applause to Henriette Leicher and Martin Stegmann, the two leaders of this journey and thanks and congrats to everbody else who helped. #TRR356

Born from the collaborative spirit of #TRR356, I’m excited to share my first first-author project! 🪴🦠
What started as a side project with @kbuhrman.bsky.social led us to discover that KAR/KL and SL signalling fine-tune the strength and timing of plant defense responses in a conserved manner!

“Age matters: host developmental stage modulates immune responses&viral evolution" - lucky to have hosted Santiago Elena @sfelena.bsky.social at @zmbp-tuebingen.bsky.social as part of our TRR356 seminar series! (Interested? Check pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39292505/ & pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36744567/)

Latest work from our group on powdery mildew susceptibility is finally out!

We show that host RALF signalling, cell wall organization, and apoplastic pH regulation are required for successful fungal colonization. Surprisingly, the function of RALFs is only partly dependent on FERONIA. #TRR356

Can’t describe it better than @sebastian-dts.bsky.social did, with whom collaborating on this #TRR356 project has been a treat! Special thanks also to Martin Stegmann and @carogutj.bsky.social , and to all other co-authors!

New (English!) episode from the wonderful TRR356 podcast on plant-microbe interactions, and this time I got to join! Have a listen to hear more about the work we do to understand how plants and beneficial microbes interact 👇

Impressions form our TRR356 plant-microbe autumn meeting this week. Please never ask me to identify powdery mildew in an autumnal forest again 😅 #PlantScience #PlantImmunity

With the amazing autumn view of TUM, I enjoyed the awesome science as well as my first experience giving a career development talk. Really appreciate the invitation from PhD students and truly amazed by the wonderful&creative event organisation. #TRR356 #ECR #MPMI #editorlife

Back home after an incredible week of talks, workshops and fun at the #TRR356 “summer” school. Motivated to get back to my research with new ideas,but need a weekend to digest everything first😅big thanks to all speakers and participants! #PlantScience #PlantImmunity

What an absolute treat we are having at TUM! The TRR356 receptor workshop is bringing together some great minds in plant receptor biology for a three day workshop. Simona Raditoiu is sharing some beautiful data from her labs NFR1/CERK6 swaps and what changes in immunity and symbiosis #PlantScience

@maryspezz.bsky.social getting ready to introduce us to SymRK and the adaptations it underwent to gain unique functions in root nodule symbiosis #PlantScience #TRR356

Students and postdocs of the TRR356 Plant-microbe consortium are gathered in Freising this week to share our research and strengthen collaborations. Kartikye Varshney from @carogutj.bsky.social ‘s group got us started with his great story on smax1, karrikins and AM regulation 🌱 🌾 #PlantScience

Neu in der #podcast-Liste bei #wisspod:

Podcast "Pflanzen und ihr Mikrokosmos"

https://wissenschaftspodcasts.de/podcasts/pflanzen-und-ihr-mikrokosmos/

In diesem Podcast werden die neuesten Forschungserkenntnisse rund um das Wechselspiel von Pflanzen mit ihren mikroskopischen Partnern beleuchtet.

Normally I don't post private stuff. But the interactive and interesting #TRR356 and @BIOTOPIA Lab exhibitions @botmuc are both worth a visit.
