Really nice work from @jellespooren.bsky.social showing that disease-suppressive soils might sometimes be generated in the phyllosphere. Turning the concept of soilborne legacies upside down 🌱🦠 With @cornepieterse.bsky.social @svanwees.bsky.social and others @utrechtpmi.bsky.social

Happy to announce that NWO funded a project in which @cornepieterse.bsky.social and my team will explore the ancient links between rapid #auxin signaling and immune responses. My first careful steps in the plant-microbe interactions community…

With at the approving eye of founding mother of our group, Johanna Westerdijk (1883-1961), Sietske van Bentum received her PhD diploma @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social. Happy supervisors @rlberendsen.bsky.social and Peter Bakker! For Peter, Sietske was the last successful delivery.... Thanks Peter!
