1/8 🔥 New preprint dropped: Dynamic co-existence of bacteriophages and their hosts 🦠 in the Arabidopsis thaliana 🌱 phyllosphere
Work led by the indomitable @sheilaroitman.bsky.social

Really proud of this work led by Ruben Eichfeld! We show how a CBM domain gain/loss can rewire fungal chitinases, turning them from antifungal enzymes into immune-suppressing effectors that support plant symbiosis.

Happy to share our work on soil-emulating plant growth media! 🌱 ArtSoil supports a self-repopulating complex microbiome, promotes plant growth, avoids sucrose artifacts, and enables reproducible, cell-type-specific root responses 👇

Réduire l’usage d’engrais azotés tout en maintenant les performances agricoles : un défi central pour l’agriculture de demain. Miser sur les interactions naturelles entre plantes constitue une piste prometteuse. Le projet SYMBIPLANTS explore ces mécanismes encore mal connus afin de mieux comprendre comment certaines associations végétales influencent la capacité des légumineuses à fixer l’azote.
🌱🔬 Réduire l’usage d’engrais azotés sans réduire les performances agricoles : un défi clé.
Le projet SYMBIPLANTS, porté par des chercheurs INRAE, étudie comment les interactions entre plantes, notamment légumineuses et brassicacées, influencent la fixation de l’azote.
