Glad to join for the first time the Plant Microbiome Symposium #PMS2025. Looking forward to a week full of interesting talks and inspiring discussions. I will present a poster on Thursday about synergistic effects between resident microbes and inoculants for improved maize performance under drought.

Professorship in plant genetics.
The Botanical Institute at Kiel University is advertising a W2 professorship. Great opportunity to do plant research in the north of Germany. See:

@manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social explains that eukaryote P bodies contain translationally inactive RNAs.

Do pathogens induce the formation of these? Yes!

How? Effectors!… that repress ER stress response.

Why? Make plants susceptible by reducing translation of immunity genes.

#2025ISMPMI Manuel Gonzalez Fuente from the Üstün lab shows how pathogens like Pseudomonas target p bodies with effectors HopM1 and HopN1. ER stress induction by HopM1 counteracts p bodies.
