How do "friendly" rhizobia build a legume nodule? @AlbinTeulet found that some may carry hidden transcription factors - proteins that mimic DNA-binding folds to enter the plant nucleus and rewrite its developmental program. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898… (1/6)

Since my first few posts I have been remarkably reserved in commenting on this (by my own standards). I also made several clarifying remarks to calm any alarmist or unfair accusations about the quality of Thermo Fisher's antibodies, shame they wouldn't afford me the same!

How do legumes decide to fix nitrogen - and can we engineer them to do it better? That's the question I've been chasing across three continents. New site is up 👇 jawaharsingh.com @slcuplants @Cambridge_Uni

[1/6]🌱 New in MPMI: When Mutualism Turns Parasitic - How Alfalfa Controls Cheating Rhizobia. Not all rhizobia fix nitrogen. Some cheat. So how do plants protect their symbiosis? A new study - and our commentary - reveal the answer. 🧵⬇️

Ever seen a pumpkin under a microscope? 🎃🔬 This Halloween, Raymond Wightman & Daniel Sparrow used #microscopy to reveal: 🔬Skin detail with the #Keyence microscope 💡Beta-carotene spectral via #Raman spectroscopy ❄️Flash-frozen flesh via cryo-SEM #HappyHalloween #Halloween
Composite image showing a pumpkin used for microscopy. A photo of the whole pumpkin with a small 2mm square cut out indicates the area imaged. The main background shows the orange flesh captured with a Keyence digital microscope, with the darker ridge on the left marking the skin. An inset black graph displays the Raman spectrum with strong beta-carotene peaks, explaining the pumpkin’s orange colour. Another inset image from cryo-SEM reveals tightly packed oval cells that make up the pumpkin’s fleshy interior. Images by Raymond Wightman and Daniel Sparrow.

New paper! Carnivory and mycorrhizal symbiosis are alternative ways for plants to gain nutrients. Our study, led by my former postdoc Hector Montero, shows they rarely coexist, with repeated AM losses, rare exceptions, and gene co-options. nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/…
Convergent losses of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in carnivorous plants

Convergent losses of arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in carnivorous plants

Most land plants form the ancient arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis, while carnivory is a younger trait that evolved in several angiosperm orders. The two biotic interactions similarly help pl...
