Our @elife.bsky.social Version of Record is now out 🎉 : elifesciences.org/articles/105...

Congratulations to @sohambio.bsky.social , @asimjaved.bsky.social , and @jiaxuwu.bsky.social on this beautiful work. We also wrote an easy-to-read eLife Digest for a general audience 👏

Very excited to see our @nikogeldner.bsky.social lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science!
(1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.

NEW ARTICLE FROM THE LAB 🎉🍀🧫

Groundbreaking work performed by @hueihsuantsai.bsky.social and all!

Please, go have a read! Congrats to making it to the cover!!!

Glycan recognition by a plant sentinel immune receptor Pathogens target and degrade the extracellular matrix surrounding plant cells. A central question is how cell wall-derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) are recognized and integrated to...

NEW ARTICLE ON BIORXIV🎉

Tour de force by Pedro Jimenez-Sandoval and al. from Julia Santiago's group. We have found that two layers of DAMP signaling actually exist. External DAMPs (from cell wall) prepare the immune landscape without being primers themselves.

May I even dare to say, this is what fascism is. I feel quite anxious for all Americans who are dealing with this sh** everyday. Hope this will not last more than four years…

Call for a tenure-track position at our Department of Plant Molecular Biology in Lausanne! We are searching for promising early-career researchers in the broad field of plant-organismal interactions. Deadline: November 30, 2025 - Please re-post!

New story out! Side project from the PhD that turned out to be quite interesting. Are chloroplastic ROS the initial trigger for SA biosynthesis in its originating organelle in plant immunity?

Please, have a read and find out for yourself 😀!

Apoplastic barriers are essential for nodule formation and nitrogen fixation in Lotus japonicus Establishment of the apoplastic root barrier known as the Casparian strip occurs early in root development. In legumes, this area overlaps with nitrogen-fixing nodule formation, which raises the possi...

Finally!
Im so excited to present to culmination of many years of work from the fantastic Defeng Shen and some great collaborators. For details, I have made a digested thread below, but if you are more interested feel free to reach out (and read the paper of course).

Congratulations again Edel 🧪💪🎉

Everything's rolling great! Looking forward to sharing a fresh Kolsch with you!😀

Congrats @minyaaa.bsky.social! It seems so cool to do discovery at the same time as doing art!

Very cool and novel principle for plant-bacteria interactions. Worth the read!
