Some thoughts from a recent @NewPhyt workshop: is there any connection between the late arrival of plants in terrestrial ecosystems and the high diversity of plant-fungal interactions?

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

@fmartin1954 Yes, here is a close-up ....

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

At day 2 of the @NewPhyt workshop in Angers, several cool talks on symbiotic regulation between land plants and different fungi. Impressive that mucoromycotina fine root endophyte seems to be different from AMF, according to @dromius

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

At the end, today a lovely visit to the tapestries of the apocalypse in Angers.... do you see the mushroom ?

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

Intrigued that the diversity of interactions is so large and that plants arrive so late on the scene, according to Knoll perhaps even last. See also upcoming paper with @CStrulluDerrien

@fmartin1954 @NewPhyt 😀🙏

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

@MontellanoJavi @fmartin1954 @NewPhyt Yes!

Swag at the New Phytologist workshop in Angers, France. Looking forward to the next two days.
@NewPhyt

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

and many others in addition to the ones already highlighted yesterday.

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

Day 2 of the @NewPhyt workshop in Angers is about to start.
Thanks to @CStrulluDerrien et al. for organizing a great meeting.
Some highlights from yesterday also include....

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

a thought-provoking presentation by Marc-André Selosse on the waiting room hypotheses for the path of evolution from saprobe to endophyte to mycorrhiza.

Great presentation by Andrew Knoll (remove) about early ecosystems...and that plants were late to arrive!

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

Great presentation by Francis Martin on the saprotrophic-symbiotic continuum in fungi.

At the @NewPhyt workshop in Angers

@fmartin1954

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

Session this morning at the @NewPhyt workshop in Angers started with a broad overview of fossil evidence of early land plants by Paul Kenrick.

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

Next, Corentin Loron explains how FTIR and machine learning can be used to study molecular composition in the fossil record
Prototaxites as the example. Might not be a fungus.🥺

Christine Strullu-Derrien introducing some findings of our recently accepted paper on early soils and plants at the New Phytologist workshop in Angers.

@NewPhyt

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

@1pantunes @fmartin1954 @NewPhyt Congratulations Pedro and New Phytologist! 😀

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

@haiyang_myco @NatureRevMicro Cool! But also scary... 😅

[Matthias C. Rillig @mrillig]

Excited to share my review in Nature Reviews Microbiology on soil fungal ecology.

Fungal diversity, ecology and functions in soil ecosystems
