🌱 New paper out from the citizen science project “Soy in 1,000 Gardens”:
We uncovered local bacteria that help soybean fix nitrogen as well as a key commercial strain. Turns out, great helpers can be found right in your backyard!

🍬 Sweet science in the RhizoLab!
Sugars do more than energize, they orchestrate nitrogen-fixing symbiosis in soybean nodules. Using single-cell & spatial omics, we’re uncovering how TOR, SnRK1 & HXK1 decode this sugary signal.

👀A peek into the RhizoLab
Over 80% of plants team up with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to swap sugars for phosphate. But how is this alliance built? We study fungal effector proteins and their plant partners in tomato to uncover the molecular dialogue behind this underground symbiosis.

👀 A peek into the RhizoLab – Week 2!
We study the autoregulation of nodulation (AON) in soybeans—how plants control nodule numbers to balance nitrogen fixation and energy costs. We’re uncovering key proteins involved in this process using cutting-edge proteomics.

👀 A peek into the RhizoLab!
One of our 5 research focuses: plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). We study how beneficial microbes like Streptomyces help maize and wheat grow better and resist stress like drought and disease.

🌍 Happy Earth Day!
We're digging deep to understand how roots interact with their environment. By exploring the underground rhizosphere, we work toward more sustainable, resilient plant systems.
Let’s nurture the planet from the ground up. 💚

Meet the Rhizosphere!
At the Center for Plant Systems Biology, we study how plant roots interact with partners, competitors, and everything in between. By decoding the signals that shape these relationships, we explore how plants adapt. 🌿🔬
