Can mutualists and pathogens co-colonise the same living plant cell and what does that do to the plant membranes that surround these microbes?

[Sebastian Schornack @dromius]

Read & RT. New preprint by @Gavrin_Alex from his time in our team - Inactivation of Medicago Glucan binding protein 1 (GBP1) offers: An approach to enhance symbiotic nitrogen fixation.

When people say to stop using pesticides, I always respond with:

Which of the following are you okay with?

Losing 30-40% of crops to pests?
Clearing more land for farming?
Children weeding manually?
Higher food prices?
Lower food quality?
Invasive pests?

Seriously, which one?

I had a phenomenal time at the @BS_PP #PPATH24 meeting in Oxford. Thanks to @gailmpreston for an awesome organization. A pity @dromius wasn’t here. I keep using the TALE-cryptex he originally designed in my favorite opening slide.
