Mycorrhizal networks

"Fungi form well-documented and functionally relevant symbioses with the majority of plants and the fungi grow inside the roots, forming symbiotic exchange interfaces."

"Reasons underpinning this focus on common mycorrhizal networks (CMNs) are quite evident: these fungi form well-documented and functionally relevant symbioses with the majority of plants and the fungi grow inside the roots, forming symbiotic exchange interfaces (Smith & Read, 2008)."

Researchers propose mechanistic framework to explain complex #microbe-host #symbioses.

Hello there!

I'm a new PhD student freshly arrived in #Toulouse to work on plant-microbe interactions. My thesis will focus on the study of mycorrhizal and rhizobial #symbioses at the root #endodermis level.

On the side, I like to do #photography, discover new music (often #postrock) and play with computers and electronics (mostly #Linux and #Arduino).

Looking forward to exploring the Fediverse :)

#introduction

The #symbioses that gave rise to primary #organelles are key events in the origin of #Eukaryotes. @PierreSGarcia @FredBarras & @SGribaldo use markers from 2 conserved machineries for [Fe-S] cluster biogenesis to support an early emergence of #mitochondria & #plastids within #Alphaproteobacteria & #Cyanobacteria #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3FNP5E5

Reminder: The 2023 GRS on Animal-Microbe #symbioses is officially open for abstract submissions. This 2-day meeting will happen right before the sister GRC. All applicants are encouraged to apply for both! 1/5

“#Ciliates are interesting because they form #symbioses with other #microbes really easily. Even though they are common in oxygen-depleted environments where there is not a lot of energy available, they are large and very active. Some get large enough that you can even see them with your eyes.”

Quick introduction:

I am #CNRS researcher working at the University of Toulouse in the south west of France.

My lab studies the interactions between plants and microbes. We are trying to understand the molecular mechanisms governing them, and how these mechanisms and the associated interactions evolve(d). We want to create new #symbioses

We use comparative phylogenomics and genetics in multiple plant species, including #Marchantia , combined with biochem.

Bonjour,
I am a microbiologist at INRAE-Nancy working on the microbial ecology of forest ecosystems, harnessing genomics to track the evolution of ecological traits in #fungi and #mycorrhizal #symbioses 
Nature-lover - Expect lots of photos of fungi, trees and forests

OK I've switched to @fediscience.org and it's time to introduce myself.

I am a nature-lover, associate professor and Canada Research Chair #CRC at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Our team here works on symbioses of #fungi with #algae, #bacteria and other fungi — and much revolves around understanding the composition, evolution and metabolic quid pro quo behind #lichen #symbiosis / #symbioses

Expect lots of lichen photos, but we'll kick off almost in season with Peniophora rufa
