Wie schlimm war die #Hitzewelle Ende Juni hierzulande? Ich habe das Gefühl, die Berichterstattung wird dem bislang nicht gerecht. Vielleicht hilft dieses Diagramm? Das sind die Sterbefälle für jeden Tag seit Anfang 2020 – in Rot die Kurve für 2026. datawrapper.dwcdn.net/gvL9c/1

Our work is out now! (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). We discover a selective autophagy pathway that protects plants from the mess caused by RNA viruses. Intrigued? Follow the spaghetti trail for a summary of our findings🧵-->

Selective autophagy fine-tunes plant immunity to promote cell survival during viral infection
RNA viruses co-opt host endomembranes to form replication complexes, often triggering cellular stress and immune responses. Here, we show that Arabidopsis thaliana activates selective autophagy to res...

Mid-week #mycorrhiza 🍄 Some hyphae, arbuscules and vesicles of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inside the root of a bramble, collected during a workshop at Wilburton Primary School, Cambridgeshire. And this was just the tip of the iceberg! #mycosky #microsocpy #fungi

The award ceremony was followed by a celebratory dinner at the Rathauskeller at Vienna City Hall, supported by the @wien.gv.at – a fitting close to a stimulating two-day program! #Mendel_ECR_26 #PlantBiology #WhereKnowledgeGrows

Preprint alert! I am happy to share the first manuscript from my thesis project! We initially wanted an overview of how SymRK evolution compares to other receptors with a similar domain structure, and when we saw how dynamically a particular group of them behaves, we decided to dig deeper...

Its preprint season for #TRRPlantMicrobe and in the last weeks a flurry of great plant microbe papers were posted. It's been wonderful seeing these stories take shape over the last years amid a supportive community of young researchers, so I wanted to collect them all in one place. Take a look👇

Can’t describe it better than @sebastian-dts.bsky.social did, with whom collaborating on this #TRR356 project has been a treat! Special thanks also to Martin Stegmann and @carogutj.bsky.social , and to all other co-authors! Find our manuscript at: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

And that’s a wrap for the #TRR356 “Plant-Microbe” PhD & PostDoc retreat at beautiful Frauenchiemsee 🌿 We enjoyed talks from within the TRR and from our fantastic invited speakers, along with an engaging poster session, workshop, and career development discussions. A truly great event!
