Identification of a novel link connecting indole‐3‐acetamide with abscisic acid biosynthesis and signaling Plants orchestrate their developmental processes and responses to environmental stimuli through a sophisticated network of small signaling molecules, termed phytohormones. Among these, auxins are re...

Great shoutout to all participants from @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social and @cnb-csic.bsky.social

I am most excited seeing them setting up their own labs and thriving in science 🧪

Thanks #MICIU for considering my application for the mobility fellowship for next year! Sometimes it is worth checking emails, even on the first day of holidays. Chile, I am on my way 🇨🇱👍🏼

Congratulations to new 'Dr.' Francis C. Onjeme. A great day, not only for him but for the entire lab!!! Now you can finally become the Minister of Science in Nigeria 😉 On behalf of the complete #pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social, we wish you all the best for your future!!!

Back from #pbe2025. I really enjoyed myself. I had great discussions and learned a ton. Congratulations to the local organizers for their tremendous work.
#pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Life is a Team game. Thus, I am very happy that I was able to give a great shout-out to my extraordinary team, after I presented our work at the #PBE2025 meeting in Budapest, Hungary.
#pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

Super proud of our team! One of our last papers on the role of auxin distribution in plant-fungus interactions is featured on the webpage of PCE among the most read articles in the last 2 yrs: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/1365...

#pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social 🌱🦠

Next stop PBE2025 in Budapest, Hungary. The detailed program is now online: pbe2025-budapest.org/detailed-pro...
Looking forward to meeting many interesting people and to contribute to the conference on the initial Wednesday.
#pollmannlab @cbgpmadrid.bsky.social

It was great fun to present our recent advances. Our collaborative efforts with other groups in the @evodevosignet.bsky.social clear highlight the importance of the Redes project.

Looking very much forward to participate in this thrilling meeting... 👇🏼

Thrilled to see our work now online @nature.com

Did you ever ask yourself whether different root-colonizing fungal endophytes form similar arid environments trigger common responses in their host plants to confer increased drought tolerance? Checkout our latest paper:

Exactly... 😳

Happy to see this work on the role of root colonising fungi on strawberry VOC by my friends from Chile published. Glad that I was able to help the Chilean crew out.
