In natural ecosystems, microbes have the ability to stably colonize plant leaves, overcoming the fluctuating environmental conditions that the leaves …

Time-resolved drone imaging of potato crop development and seed tuber microbiome data can be used to predict potato vigour, or growth potential, in next-season crops in trial fields.

Eastman, Jiang, and Ficco et al. screen 165 root-associated bacteria for suppression of plant immune activation and growth restriction induced by the peptide immune elicitor flg22. They show that Dyella japonica uses the type II secreted subtilase IssA to cleave the peptide immune elicitors flg22 and AtPEP1 and suppress plant immune activation.

21 research consortia have the chance to reach a breakthrough thanks to funding from the ENW-XL Open Competition. From fundamental research on the effects of certain materials on the methane cycle to ...

Recent advances in self-supervised models for natural language, vision, and protein sequences have inspired the development of large genomic DNA language models (DNALMs). These models aim to learn gen...

Welcome to Rhizosphere 6 We are looking forward to welcoming the global rhizosphere research community to Edinburgh for Rhizosphere 6 in June 2025. The meeting will foster exchange, interaction and ...

Contribute to plant health and our understanding of the metabolic interactions between microbes and plants in the rhizosphere by computational modelling!

ELLIS workshop, HYBRID, December 6, 2024

Saskia van Wees investigates the intricacies of plant resistance and the role plant hormones play in these processes. Today, she delivers her inaugural lecture.

Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication (WGD), both a strong evolutionary and ecological force and a potential pitfall, occurs extensively across the tree of life, particularly in angiosperms. While p...

Abstract. Rates of microbial growth are fundamental to understanding environmental geochemistry and ecology. However, measuring the heterogeneity of microb

A pangenome analysis of 76 wild and domesticated barley accessions in combination with short-read sequence data of 1,315 barley genotypes indicates that allelic diversity at structurally complex loci ...

The microbiota in individual habitats differ in both relative composition and absolute abundance. While sequencing approaches determine the relative a…

Om ervoor te zorgen dat iedereen op de aardbol genoeg te eten heeft zullen we heel slim met ons voedsel om moeten gaan. Tirsa gaat naar een hightech plantenlaboratorium in Utrecht. Daar wordt uitvoeri...

Metabuli enhances metagenomic read classification by jointly analyzing DNA and amino acid sequences for specificity and sensitivity, respectively.
