*SO* damn excited to share our latest @ERC_Research in @NewPhyt - we've isolated, cultured and colonised Trifolium with Mucoromycotina 'fine root endophyte' and THEN show *direct* carbon-for-nutrient exchange https://t.co/yAsarjokT6

Check out our paper @NaturePlants: https://t.co/kYgJaoPyCj We show how plants 'remember' stress from caterpillars. This immune memory lingers for weeks, primes defence genes, and is epigenetically encoded in transposons. @sheffielduni @PPS_UoS @susfoodshef #plantsci #epigenetics
