www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🌿 Excited to share our Primer on fungal endophytes, the elusive members of the fungal kingdom that defy easy classification. Neither pathogens nor symbionts in the strict sense, they challenge how we define ecological guilds. @umr-iam.bsky.social
Fungal endophytes
Organisms are commonly grouped into ecological guilds that reflect their shared resource use and similar ecological roles. The guild concept has been …

Yesterday we presented our work on the impact of 🌳🌲 conversion to 🥑 orchards on soil microbial communities at #ISMELat2025.

If you're in Mérida and want to know more about how pathogens modulate the 🥑 rhizosphere #microbiome, I'll give a talk tomorrow in the "host-microbiome" session.

Imagine you could reconstruct and separate environmental impacts on complex metabolic processes from tree rings 🌲 - multidimensional isotopic fingerprints might make it possible: nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Plant metabolic pathway scheme and key enzymatic processes that affect the isotope composition at different positions in the glucose moieties of cellulose

#Introduction
We study the effects of plant pathogens on the plant microbiome, using #meta-omics. Our main model is 🥑 and we have investigated diseases such as #Fusarium dieback or #Phytophthora root rot.
