Very excited to see our @NikoGeldner lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science! (1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.
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: https://t.co/wXSBg9t3gY

Because good news never comes alone, I'm glad to finally share another part of my PhD work, where we showed that the coumarin Fraxetin improve Fe nutrition in Arabidopsis and tomato, independantly of the presence of the Fe transporter IRT1! Please read if you want to know more

Zinc deficiency is the most abundant microdeficiency of plants globally. It affects up to 50% of all arable lands. We show that Brassicaceae plants (broccoli, radish) actively secrete peptides to increase root mass under zinc starvation.

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is recognized as a global crisis as it is observed in half of all agricultural soils. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive plant physiological responses to soil Zn...

Happy to share my very first News and Views with @MarieBarberon on NPFs, ABA and suberin!
Now with a News & Views by @MarieBarberon: "NPFs rule suberization" https://t.co/rYyN1RO8El Long- and short-distance transport of ABA and gibberellin (GA) via four members of the nitrate and peptide transporter family (NPFs) is crucial for endodermal suberization in roots.
