Last day #Monogram2026! Besides talking about cereal grafting for drought tolerant trait transfer, I reconnected with colleagues, peers, friends and made new connections. Thanks to AAB and Monogram Network for awarding me a Travel Grant. @aabiologists.bsky.social @thepallavisinghlab.bsky.social

How do beneficial microbes help plants defend against herbivores? Our new study in New Phytologist shows that MIR (microbe-induced resistance) coordinates direct and indirect plant defenses over time—killing herbivores early and attracting their parasitoids later.

🚨 Are we measuring microbiomes wrong? 🦠🔬 This study reveals the power of absolute microbial concentration measurements, moving beyond relative abundance. It also shows how sample handling and storage can introduce bias in microbiome–host studies. A must-read! 📖 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
