Thrilled to see our paper published in #NewPhytologist Pollen sterols are highly diverse but phylogenetically conserved with consequences for nutrition in bees which depend on pollen for these essential lipids. @rbgkew.bsky.social @nrinstitute.bsky.social nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Whole genome sequencing of historical specimens from the world's largest fungal collection yields high‐quality assemblies High-throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehe...

Very excited to share that my first 1st author publication is available at the journal of #NewPhytologist !

Congratulations to the entire team that worked on this project including the #KewFungarium Team. 👏 🍄‍🟫

Soil pH‐dependent nitrogen stimulation of plant biomass: magnesium and calcium as key constraints Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition can alleviate N limitation and stimulate plant growth in many terrestrial ecosystems. While theoretical models often emphasize phosphorus limitations as a const.....

🌍 Nitrogen boosts plant growth—but only when soil pH is right! 🧪 This global study shows Mg and Ca are the hidden keys to unlocking biomass gains. #SoilScience #PlantGrowth #NewPhytologist

Paper just accepted in #NewPhytologist:

Marín C, Wade MJ. Bring back the phenotype.

Here we join recent & not-so-recent criticisms towards a gene-centric view of evolution.
In 1976 Mike Wade did the first empirical evidence study of group selection in the lab. Nice to write with him!

A reminder to all plant (and plant-adjacent) ECRs, the New Phytologist Next Generation Scientist symposium will be at Birmingham this summer. We'd love to see you there! 🙂

Application deadline is Monday:

Turnip mosaic virus selectively subverts a PR‐5 thaumatin‐like, plasmodesmal protein to promote viral infection Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are induced by abiotic and biotic stresses and generally considered as part of the plant defense mechanism. However, it remains yet largely unclear if and how they...
