Thrilled to share that our recent paper in Botany 🔗 doi.org/10.1139/cjb-... is the #EditorsPick of the week!🏆
We explored how host driven selection—not just location— helps invaders like 𝑃. 𝑗𝑢𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑎 dominate via unique AMF partners.

New research with Inderjit & Deepika in Botany_Journal Invasive 𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑠𝑜𝑝𝑖𝑠 𝑗𝑢𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑙𝑜𝑟𝑎 hosts AMF phylotypes distinct from its native congener 𝑃. 𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑟𝑖𝑎. Host identity—not site factors—drives this fungal divergence.🔗doi.org/10.1139/cjb-2025-0088

AMF aren’t just fungi—they are CEOs of a complex underground holobiont.
My new paper in Appl Soil Ecology 218:106759, explores how semiotic cross-talks between plants, AMF, and microbes drive our ecosystems.

We show in Scientific Reports 15:8662 (2025) based on 3180 truffles harvested over five months from eight Greek woodlands that #trufflefarmers and their dogs greatly impact #truffle quality and quantity.

Mycorrhizas are important for soil health like gut microbes are for human health
In @STOTEN_journal we show how steel slag use as a fertiliser proxy in agriculture, while being a good showpiece for circular economy, disrupts mycorrhizal functions in the soil
