Preprint alert: Here we report MMF1 - "a microbiota receptor” - through which Arabidopsis plants perceive their soil microbiome. Perception optimises root microbiome composition, immune status and ultimately leads to better growth. Happy reading... www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Out in @elife.bsky.social ! 🎉 Thank you @sohambio.bsky.social for your persistence! Also to @asimjaved.bsky.social & @jiaxuwu.bsky.social for your contributions! So excited to keep understanding gall-forming pathogens using these results as a starting point! elifesciences.org/reviewed-pre...

I am thrilled to share our new review on holocentric chromosomes. It was a lot of fun to write it together with Ines Drinnenberg! Same but different: Centromere regulations in holocentric insects and plants doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

Congratulations to Jana Ordon and all coauthors!!! Our new study is published in @natureplants.bsky.social "Conserved immunomodulation and variation in host association by Xanthomonadales commensals in Arabidopsis root microbiota" (0/n) rdcu.be/eauzt

These are terrible times & getting help with grant- or paper-writing can feel like a luxury. But my help probably costs less than you think, & I can polish a grant, coordinate multiple authors/PIs, finish up a ms for a departed trainee-- buying you time for other important work. 🧪 #PlantScience

Finally I am here. For old and new friends, please add me if I have not done so!

Proud to share our latest published work on moisture responsive root development-a process we call hydropatterning! We find that this process has been under differential selection during maize breeding and the gaseous hormone ethylene prevents branching in air. www.science.org/doi/epdf/10....

Check out our new study! We show that Arabidopsis uses the EDS1-SAG101-NRG1 node to trigger rapid yet contained cell death. Key finding: NRG1C variant regulates this process by competing with functional NRG1s. Amazing collaboration between Jijie Chai and Parker Labs. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🌱🔬 Exciting to see Yang Song explain our Nature Microbiology paper in this video! Her work shows how the microbiome of seed potatoes can predict plant growth potential—offering a new way to assess tuber quality before planting. Check it out here: www.microp.org/news/168/new...

Congratulations to @somssich.bsky.social for receiving the @molplantsci.bsky.social #PlantScience #SciComm award at #MBP2025. Marc is a pioneer of #PlantScience #SciComm on social media and he championed the #SciExit #eXit #SciXit movement Well deserved Marc!

🌿🏆 Congratulations to Marc Somssich! 🏆🌿 @somssich.bsky.social He receives the 2025 SciComm Award for outstanding social media contributions bringing scientific discoveries and plant scientists to life through engaging storytelling and historical context. Well deserved! 👏 #SciComm #PlantSci #MBP2025

Fantastic news! 🎉👏 Very well deserved #SciComm Award 👏 Congratulations @somssich.bsky.social #plantsci #science

Well deserved #scicomm award at the MBP2025 meeting for @somssich.bsky.social ! Big congrats!

In plant immunity, activated sensor NLRs generate second messengers, which in turn activate helper NLRs such as NRG1. Two studies @nature use cryo-EM to provide mechanistic insights into NRG1 activation and inhibition. www.nature.com/articles/s41... & www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Please let me know what you would want to know about mentoring, in particular international environments (countries, students).

Does anyone have experience with low-input high-throughput (96 well plate) RNAseq library preparation from plants (bonus points if it is with plant roots...)

Well done, Erika and Yasu!

I am not sure whether I should have or not, but I paid my student salary from my salary in such situation during COVID.

@ucdavis.bsky.social , if you want a team effort, you step up when team members are being dragged. If postdocs are not being paid by an agency, you find a solution. If grants are being withheld you find a solution. Grace and patience does not make a team. Stepping up makes a team.
