Excited to start as a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor at DEAB (@upc.edu). My research combines plant biology and AI to understand how plants integrate multiple environmental signals to help develop more resilient crops. Looking forward to this new chapter and new collaborations!

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi boost plant resilience by remodelling the plant-pathogen membrane interface Check-out the latest paper from @alexguyon.bsky.social & @dromius.bsky.social 📖 doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social News article www.slcu.cam.ac.uk/news/arbuscu...
Mutualist-pathogen co-colonisation modulates phosphoinositide signatures at host intracellular interfaces: Nicotiana benthamiana plants expressing biosensors for PI4P and PI(4,5)P2. PI(4,5)P2 was tip-enriched at mutualist structures but evenly distributed around pathogen structures. PI4P was absent from pathogen extrahaustorial membranes but present at invasive hyphae and mutualist interfaces. Co-colonisation triggered PI4P recruitment at pathogen haustoria, and enhanced resistance to P. palmivora. Graphic by Alex Guyon.

The issue will be edited by Julien Gronnier, Ruth Großeholz, Klaus Harter and Laura Ragni. The image depicts the logo of CRC 1101 “Molecular Encoding of Specificity in Plant Processes“ - carried by groups of 3 German Universities and funded by the DFG, deals with the challenge of understanding specificity in plant processes by application of methods reaching from structure determination, high-end spectromicroscopy and biochemistry over forward and reverse genetics to big data science and computational modelling. This special issue will summarize some recent advances made by CRC 1101 members but also welcomes contributions from colleagues working in this research area.
