Check this out!! Verticillium-secreted protein (TRADE) triggers the cell identity switches of plant bundle sheath cells into tracheary elements. Congratulations to all the authors 👏👏
Here is a preprint with potential interest to those fascinated by host-microbe interactions, abiotic stress adaptation, xylogenesis, P bodies & mRNA turnover, and extended phenotypes induced by microbial effectors: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… (1/5)

Glad to hear an exciting and insightful talk from Dr. Shelley Lumba @Lumba_lab “One signal, two modes of perception: How strigolactones are perceived by plants and fungi.” Check out this exciting work, How do plants talk to fungi? sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Last week, we met with district foresters from Lower Saxony to present our latest findings. The meeting was hosted by the Niedersächsische Landesforsten and provided a chance for science transfer and to discuss future forest management 🌳🌲 #Enrico #forest #Lower_Saxony

Master students @UniJena @EAHJena: we have an open spot for a Master thesis in our lab @LeibnizHKI. Get in touch if you‘re a highly motivated and responsible student, interested in fungal research! leibniz-hki.de/en/epi-newsde…

Just put together a simple guide on how to vectorize R plots in PowerPoint. Check out my first Medium article 🥳 nalinan.medium.com/how-to-ve…
It took me SEVEN years to figure out that you can save a ggplot as a vectorized .svg file ggsave("file.svg"). The svg file can be opened on powerpoint and it will be completely vectorized, even text are still recognized as text boxes! No more recreating plots on illustrator!!!!!
