Happy to share the recent collaborative work with @kulich_ivan and Jiri Friml's team @ScienceMagazine@lokeshverma203@UniofNottingham Calcium-triggered apoplastic ROS bursts balance gravity and mechanical signals for soil navigation https://t.co/GlItH5xRSE
Bacteria enhance sulfur deficiency tolerance in plants
Rhizosphere microbiome is remodeled under sulfur (S) deficiency with competition among bacteria increasing their release of glutathione, which benefits the plant at expense of bacterial fitness

The story from my PhD work is out in @cellhostmicrobe-
https://t.co/1zOgo1l6E9
We introduce the concept of fitness trade-off between plants and their microbiome as a mechanism to respond to environmental cues. This is likely more widespread across host-microbe systems.

Elated to share that I've joined the Dangl lab at @HHMINEWS & @UNC as a postdoc! Grateful for the opportunity to explore exciting questions in plant-microbe interactions with such an inspiring team plant ☘️ 🧬

CHOIR is now online @NatureGenet! CHOIR is a new clustering method for single-cell data that evaluates whether clusters represent statistically distinct cell populations. CHOIR scales to millions of cells and works with single-/multi-omic data of any type!

Microbial Sulfur processing is an underappreciated aspect of sulfur emission and sustainable crop production.
We present evidence for this, in our recent review:

Exciting milestone! My first paper as part of the Kost Lab, co-authored with @iLeonardoOna and @KostChristian , is now published in @TrendsMicrobiol Check it out here: https://t.co/qAtBnHcqME
Very happy to share the final version of our work on the evolution of broad host virulence in Pseudomonas out now @cellhostmicrobe It’s just in time for the holidays 🎄🦠 https://t.co/JsUxVGvA8F
