@Corne_Pieterse gave an exciting talk on beneficial bacteria that promote plant growth and elucidated the underlying mechanisms #ippc 2024. There is great potential for microbiome-optimized agriculture!

They cracked a 20 year-old NLR biology puzzle. I think they deserve to celebrate 🙌 🥳 🍾

CALS fungal biologist @LoriHuberman has been awarded a $1.9M @NIH grant to study how fungi sense and use nutrients - basic research that could inform treatment of #cancer, #obesity, #type2diabetes and fungal infections. news.cornell.edu/stories/202…
ALT “Our hope is that by finding new pathways by which cells are regulating growth, and by better understanding how they are integrating signals about how much nitrogen, carbon and phosphate are around, this could potentially help with finding new treatment for slowing the growth of cancer cells." Lori Huberman, assistant professor, School of Integrative Plant Science

Congratulations to the amazing Laura Gunn!
You down with D.O.E? (yeah you know me)
"Fully stoked" to receive a DOE Career award to use ancient Rubisco (adapted to higher CO2 and temperatures) to enhance modern photosynthesis!

(1/4) Did you know that there are bacteria in human tumors? Well, this is old news now 😊. Our new study, featured on the cover of @CellCellPress, shows that human tumors contain fungi as well and that tumor fungi matter! (Cover by @munafomarzia) cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092…
