Very excited to see our @NikoGeldner lab x Feng Zhou lab work featured on the cover of Science!
(1/5) We reveal how root architecture and nutrient leakage shape spatial patterns of microbial colonization, moving beyond traditional models of uniform exudation.
This discovery traces back to the spring of 2018, when I was a postdoc in @NikoGeldner ’s lab. After shifting Arabidopsis seedlings from solid to liquid culture, I observed that the root commensal bacterium CHA0 rapidly colonized Casparian strip–defective mutants.
We are excited to announce the PCA Imaging Workshop Webinar Series: FIJI Basics for Visualizing and Quantifying Plant Images!
This workshop will be held on Wednesday, September 24, 2025 at 7:30am PT/9:30am CT/10:30am ET.
