Latest work from our group on powdery mildew susceptibility is finally out! We show that host RALF signalling, cell wall organization, and apoplastic pH regulation are required for successful fungal colonization. Surprisingly, the function of RALFs is only partly dependent on FERONIA. #TRR356

Thanks to all collaborators involved! Anne Schneider, @debanganamoitra.bsky.social, Athanasios Makris, @hua-wei.bsky.social, Martina Ried-Lasi, @birgitkemmerling.bsky.social, @carogutj.bsky.social and Martin Stegmann

A big thank you to our invited speakers @tonnigrubeandersen.bsky.social , @pdchristine.bsky.social, Katharina Markmann, @plantteaching.bsky.social and Stefan Meldau for being a source of inspiration, sharing their experience and their valuable conversations on future career paths!

And that’s a wrap for the #TRR356 “Plant-Microbe” PhD & PostDoc retreat at beautiful Frauenchiemsee 🌿 We enjoyed talks from within the TRR and from our fantastic invited speakers, along with an engaging poster session, workshop, and career development discussions. A truly great event!

Can’t describe it better than @sebastian-dts.bsky.social did, with whom collaborating on this #TRR356 project has been a treat! Special thanks also to Martin Stegmann and @carogutj.bsky.social , and to all other co-authors! Find our manuscript at: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Born from the collaborative spirit of #TRR356, I’m excited to share my first first-author project! 🪴🦠 What started as a side project with @kbuhrman.bsky.social led us to discover that KAR/KL and SL signalling fine-tune the strength and timing of plant defense responses in a conserved manner!

Its preprint season for #TRRPlantMicrobe and in the last weeks a flurry of great plant microbe papers were posted. It's been wonderful seeing these stories take shape over the last years amid a supportive community of young researchers, so I wanted to collect them all in one place. Take a look👇

📢How do supervisory behaviours impact early-career researchers? Our preprint explores how scientific supervisors shape the wellbeing of ECRs. We analysed 2604 anonymous responses from ECRs across 65 countries🌍 to understand the impact of mentorship. This is what we found👇

This is of course all just a glimpse into what these groups have been working on together for the past years. If you want to check out the rest of the publications from our consortium, have a look here : www.bio.lmu.de/en/research/... And, of course, there is a lot more to come! Stay tuned :)
