"Linking microbiome and hyperaccumulation in plants— Read it on journals.uni-lj.si/abs/article/vi… 🦠🌱

#Rhizosphere #OneHealth Did you know the area around plant roots (the rhizosphere) can teach us how to safeguard plant, animal, and human health? Dive into new findings on soil viruses, resilient microbes, and more in FEMS Microbiology Ecology. 🪴🫂🦠🧫 academic.oup.com/femsec/pages/r…

Fieldwork together with Mirko Salinitro earlier this year at Cave del Predil in Italy (and old zinc-lead mine) collecting samples of the thallium hyperaccumulator Biscutella laevigata.

... and Biscutella laevigata, a (facultative) metallophyte widely spread throughout Europe with populations that can accumulate nickel or zinc, or hyperaccumulate thallium (populations from Ganges in Southern France and Cave del Predil in Northern Italy).

@EntAntony Great happy scientists! 👋

While at the IBC, posing at the Botanic Gardens in Madrid with the "Selenium Hyperaccumulator Group" at WUR (L-R): myself, Mirko Salinitro, Maggie-Anne Harvey, Ai Lin and Jeroen van der Woude.

EV: Dianthus sylvestris subsp. sylvestris as a promising candidate for phytostabilization of copper-contaminated post-mining sites in Alpine ecosystems by Pošćić et al. D. sylvestris showed a Cu hypertolerance by exclusion in the Italian Alps. vist.ly/xcsn @NordicOikos

The complete Z-Spec setup of revolutionary monochromatic XRF instruments in your lab. that largely replaces ICP-AES analysis for elemental analysis of plant material samples (and a grinder for making powders on the right).

@SoilandGas You can quickly enhance the paper by adding "References", "Table and Figure captions"

Them: How’s the paper coming along? Me: I have the bare bones of it, just need to add a few things. The paper…

@AgBioWorld One of the following may help! 1. The balcony that bloomed 2. The empty edifice: one balcony’s rebellion 3. The last Eden of Utopia 4. The green anomaly 5. The exotic flora of apartment 121-B 6. Chlorophyll chronicles 7. Balcony of botanical wonders

@MarkSmedley15 It seems to me that this is a species of Clematis. If so, these are not petals but sepals (and they do vary exp. in hybrids). Genetic mutations in APETALA1 or APETALA2 genes could occur, or environmental factors such as deficiencies in water or nutrients may have been involved.

Plant science twitter please help me out here, same plant, centre flower 6 petals, bottom left 4 petals, top right 5 petals… what’s going on??? 🤔

Today, New Zealand science is (Jerry Coyne’s words) circling the drain. And all because of juvenile politics & the racist canard that science is “Western” & needs “decolonising”. Science is not “Western”. It belongs to all humanity. Delved into it further (link to my blog in bio)

#CIRTL Absolutely thrilled to announce that I've successfully completed the CIRTL Postdoc Pathway Fellows Program Associate Level I and Practitioner Level II! What a journey it has been! Great support from the FLC team and truly remarkable peers 🎓🔬🌟bip.brightspace.com/4074172c-f3c7-…

@pri_kush Seems to be a happy microbe :-)
