Rhizosphere PSB

Neem een handvol vochtige grond en adem eens diep in. Ruik je ze, de Streptomyces? Super-warriors, antibiotica-fabriekjes, kannibalen... het is maar een selectie uit de namen die onze gast Dr. Michiel Vandecasteele (@GoormachtigLab) gebruikt om deze wezentjes te beschrijven!

The Rhizosphere at "Dag van de Wetenschap", go team!! #Plantscience #Biotechnology #Science #Microbiology

#iMMM2023 brought a whole community of molecular mycorrhiza enthusiasts together. It was great to host you all @slcuplants - safe travels and see you all at #iMMM2025 in Munich

Congratulations to the three poster award winners (sponsored by @NewPhyt) of #iMMM2023 - all posters were great!

#iMMM2023 Judith van Dingenen - The multiple roles of nuclear Rhizophagus irregularis effectors during plant growth and mycorrhization

#iMMM2023 Toon Leroy present his work on improving the industrial and agricultural potential of arbuscular mycorrhiza through the modulation of the carbon status in tomato

📙Research Highlight Featuring First Authors (64-9) academic.oup.com/pcp/pages/rese… Arne Temmerman💐@demicrocast, @GoormachtigLab, @PSB_VIB Shuilin Yuan💐 Moe Maruyama💐

Had an amazing time at the 11th World Soybean Research Conference in #Vienna, the birthplace of the European #soybean 🌱. Both Prof. Sofie Goormachtig and our postdoc Sylwia Struk had the honours of presenting their fascinating work there. Go team!! 👩‍🔬 #plantscience #agriculture

Congratulations to the @JXBot Poster Prize winners at #TRIC23! 👏👏👏 🏆@IsaiaVardanega of @HHU_de 🏆@NaomiStuer of @PSB_VIB

🧐Curious about what to expect from #TRIC23? We asked our own plant science Science Communications Expert @Steve_Bers to highlight a few of the speakers and the research they will present. Read the article here: vibbio.tech/3q8Nsfz 📅Final registration deadline: 8 June

When @PSB_VIB goes to a meeting … 3/6 poster prizes .. two first places .. well done #inppo2023 @VIBLifeSciences @ugent

Very proud to announce that, whilst attending #INPPO2023, our postdoc Sylwia Struk got awarded her FWO senior postdoctoral mandate! Many congratulations!! 🎉 @FWOVlaanderen @PSB_VIB @VIBpostdocs #WomenInSTEM #plantscience

Curious about how effectors from filamentous microbes reach their final destination? 🌱🍄 Check out our new review by Naomi Stuer about in planta effector trafficking! #PlantScience #Effector #Rhizosphere @VIBLifeSciences @PSB_VIB @ugent cell.com/trends/plant-s…

A huge thank you to all participants! ⭐

Main conclusions here 1) Citizen science is an undervalued tool in a scientist's toolbox with the potential to strengthen fundamental & applied science💪 2) Integrating these three disciplines can make agriculture more sustainable and adaptive to climate change

💃It takes three to tango: citizen, fundamental and applied science #CitSciMonth #CitSciTC > 1000 citizens contributed to the #VIBGrandChallenges Soy project. Read the scientists' insights and conclusions in this recent article bit.ly/3LKx39K💡

💬interactive moments with citizen scientists shed light on their needs & questions 👥Citizens care for regular updates & motivators 👩‍🌾Farmers' main concerns regarding soy breeding are yield stability and market security This is valuable input for the further project course

Citizen science in the #VIBGrandChallenges Soy project 👥 #CitSciMonth #CitSciTC 👩‍🌾>1000 citizens & farmers planted soy in their gardens and collected data over 6 months 🔎we investigated the gardens' soil and soy to find local bacterial partners that facilitate soy growth
