New Publication Alert!
Thrilled to share our latest paper out in @FrontPlantSci. We show that silicon-mediated herbivore defences in a pasture grass is greatest under reduced CO2 @ScottJohnsonLab @EELaboratory

@SRosbakh @Carlsbergfondet Interested. I will DM you.

[Professor Scott Johnson @ScottJohnsonLab]

WSU offering PhD scholarships. We keen on applications (international applicants welcome) in the areas of (1) How silicon supplementation affects soil
nutrient cycling and carbon capture and (2) Development of silicon intervention strategies
for sustainable pest management.

PhD Scholarships are now available @westernsydneyu !

I am currently looking for two students to work on the biogeography of AM fungi in Australia and on AM fungal diversity & plant defence.

Contact me if you're interested in applying.

@rputrabio @NewPhyt @chemodiversity Congratulations, Rocky! Well done

[Professor Scott Johnson @ScottJohnsonLab]

Thrilled to see our new Functional Ecology @FunEcology out verifying some of our lab findings in the field. Elevated atmospheric CO2 suppresses silicon accumulation and exacerbates endophyte reductions in plant phosphorus https://t.co/nTM32BGPlY #siliceousplants

@ScottJohnsonLab @FunEcology @XimeCibils @Tarikul_Entom @CookeJulia Fantastic to see our recent paper comes out! In this paper, we have shown that elevated atmospheric CO2 declines Si accumulation and exacerbates endophyte reductions in plant P. Well done Johnson et al👌
