Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum) pathogen induces wheat phyllosphere alkalinization, promoting the development of Fusarium head blight (FHB). Xu et al. show that host-acidifying Pseudomonas, sele...

The authors show that immunosuppression is highly conserved in the bacterial order Xanthomonadales. This feature, which preceded their specialization as host-adapted pathogens, probably contributes to...

Machine learning breaks through the linear limitations of traditional methods, providing deeper insights into the assembly, interactions, and mechanisms underlying microbiomes at varying soil depths u...

A predictive model developed using machine learning, high-throughput sequencing of the microbiomes associated with seed tubers and drone imaging of the crops growing from the tubers can forecast the p...

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.

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

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

Soils from 30 grasslands across Europe were subjected to 4 contrasting extreme climatic events under drought, flood, freezing and heat conditions, with the results suggesting that soil microbiomes fro...

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...
