Using precise spatial and temporal analysis, researchers in Science provide insight into how bacteria around the root interact both with the plant and with each other. Learn more in this week's issue: scim.ag/3WgNajk
A confocal microscopy image shows root-colonizing bacteria clustering around an emerging lateral root, where localized glutamine leakage induces spatially confined reporter activity.

@shanice-webster.bsky.social looks at iron status in plant-microbiome interactions. Proteobacteria and firmicutes are typically balanced in the microbiota, but iron starvation can really mess with that, going to dysbiosis. Used “mfec” Arabidopsis quadruple mutant. #2025ISMPMI

As the world warms, plants in natural ecosystems and agricultural settings find ways to respond to the heat. In a new special issue of Science, researchers examine how heat affects plants at multiple scales, from the molecular level to the biosphere. (THREAD 🧵) scim.ag/44cSw3Z

Plant health is essential to food security, yet pathogens continue to threaten crops worldwide. To better understand how disease takes hold—& how to stop them—HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow @shanice-webster.bsky.social is exploring the dynamic relationships among plants, microbes, & disease-causing agents.
