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 :

And, of course, there is a lot more to come! Stay tuned :)
The LMU is one of the most prestigious and traditional universities in Europe. It combines outstanding research with a challenging range of courses.www.bio.lmu.de
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!
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!
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!
