#2025ISMPMI I forgot to mention that @pascal-krohn.bsky.social developed a system to probe exudates with spatial resolution.. you might wanna check that out if you are into that kinda stuff ;-)

For all the people at #2025ISMPMI. Make sure to check the amazingly cool work of @pascal-krohn.bsky.social on fungal infection in the periderm. It is on Thursday in poster session 2 P-446

All set up for the poster session tomorrow #2025ISMPMI Please join if you wanna know more about transcription factor complexes that play roles during AMS in #MyMarchantia P-407

And, also see posters P-089 @baptistebio.bsky.social and P-182 @madeleinebaker.bsky.social

Huge congratulations to you and the entire team, André!

MYB68 regulates radial endodermal differentiation and suberin patterning In this study, Kraska et al. identify MYB68 as a novel regulator of endodermal suberization, linked to the formation of distinct identities in the xylem-pole-associated endodermis. The research uncove...

Time for another paper from our lab!
This time it’s about passage cells. This work originated from a collaboration with @lauraragni.bsky.social and was spearheaded by the super-talented @leoniekraska.bsky.social Below you will find a thread that explains our findings.

Cooperation between a root fungal endophyte and host-derived coumarin scopoletin mediates Arabidopsis iron nutrition Iron acquisition is a critical challenge for plants, especially in iron-deficient soils. Recent research underscores the importance of root-exuded coumarins in modulating the root microbiome community...

Curious about my PhD research @parkergroup.bsky.social? The paper is available as preprint on bioRxiv now!
🔬 The interaction between scopoletin and fungal endophyte F80 rescues plant growth under iron-limiting conditions by resolving the iron mobility bottleneck.
