Job Description The Department of Biological Sciences in the College of Science at Virginia Tech seeks applicants for two (2) tenure-track research and teaching positions at the Assistant/Associate ...

Large networks are particularly beneficial to researchers in under-represented groups.

ExÂME is the Expansion Microscopy Atlas of Microbial Eukaryotes, a community-driven project uncovering the hidden cellular architectures of protists and microbial eukaryotes. Supported by the Moore Fo...

The iconic networks of filamentous fungi are connected through hyphal fusions. While fusion is beneficial among hyphae from the same fungal individual…

Plants strategically respond to gravity and actively set defined growth angles. These gravitropic set-point angles (GSAs) shape the width and depth...

Root vascular pathogens like Fusarium oxysporum (Fo) severely impact agriculture by colonizing the xylem, thereby disrupting the transport of water...

Parliament has adopted new rules facilitating access to new plants that are climate and pest resistant, give higher yields and require fewer pesticides.

Gain or loss of a particular domain contributes to functional specialization of a conserved chitinase in beneficial root endophyte towards microbial antagonism or host immune suppression.

Endosomes serve as crucial sorting centers that streamline the distribution of cell surface proteins. The early endosome receives traffic from both th…

The authors provide evidence that symbiotic fungi forming widespread arbuscular mycorrhiza symbioses use cross-kingdom RNA interference to silence plant genes and promote their colonization of host ro...

Geisterfer, Jalihal et al. show spatially distinct effects of Whi3 condensates on target translation in Ashbya syncytia. In vitro, translation is enriched at condensate–solute interfaces but repressed...

Nature - PIEZO2 is intrinsically more rigid than PIEZO1, and disparate mechanical stimuli paradoxically evoke opposite conformational and gating responses in each channel.

Trees use CLAVATA3/EMBRYO SURROUNDING REGION-related (CLE) peptides to promote ectomycorrhizal symbiosis, revealing an additional regulatory layer in tree–

This study reveals how plant-associated bacteria dynamically reprogram gene expression during root colonization, using a new high-throughput approach that overcomes low bacterial biomass and interfere...

by Corrado Nai — A graphic novel about this forgotten woman in science is on its way – but it's unlikely to make an impact without the strong support from the microbiology community. If you have n…

Brillouin microscopy reveals in vivo dynamics of mechanical properties during plant development and response to stress.

Transcriptional adaptation (TA) is a genetic robustness mechanism through which mutant messenger RNA (mRNA) decay induces sequence-dependent up-regulation of so-called adapting genes. How cytoplasmica...

Dans un article publié dans la revue Nature Microbiology, des scientifiques mettent en évidence un mécanisme jusque-là inconnu chez Candida albic

During filamentous growth in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, a reduction in ribosome concentration leads to a decrease in macromolecular crowding. Inhibition of ribosome biogenesis can tri...

Nature Microbiology - During filamentous growth in the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, a reduction in ribosome concentration leads to a decrease in macromolecular crowding. Inhibition of...

Treatment failure rates for fungal infections cannot be explained simply by increased rates of drug resistance. Antifungal drug tolerance, the ability of a susceptible isolate to grow in the presence ...

Plant–pathogen interactions have profound ecological implications and are crucial for food security. Usually studied at the two extreme scales of plant organ symptomatology and host–microbe molecules,...

Recent technological developments in molecular biology led to large data sets providing new insights

Horizontal transfer of entire chromosomes has been reported in several fungal pathogens, often signi

The molecular crowding of the cytoplasm impacts a range of cellular processes. Using a fluorescent m
