Meet ENSA researcher, Eleni Soumpourou! Eleni is a platform manager at Crop Science Centre focusing on gene synthesis and plant transformation, genetics, and sequencing research. Discover more about Eleni and check out her recent publications: ensa.ac.uk/team/eleni-sou…
Legumes have a genetic “off switch”, according to new research from La Trobe University, which could help increase #crop growth and yield while also reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers. Learn how on Farming First 👇 bit.ly/3A0gCSV ENSA | Aarhus Universitet
Zinc, a crucial micronutrient, aids in mediating the control of nitrogen fixation in legumes. This is done via a transcriptional regulator to help legume crops adapt to environmental fluctuations. Check it out from ENSA researcher Dugald Reid and others: bit.ly/4blSgjq
Meet ENSA senior group leader, Sebastian Schornack! Sebastian Schornack’s research team can be found at Sainsbury Laboratory Cambridge University (SLCU), focusing on the colonisation of plants by filamentous pathogens and symbiotic fungi. Discover more about his research: ensa.ac.uk/team/sebastian…
What are #MycorrhizalAssociations? How do they work with plants to extend root systems? Find out from Paszkowski Lab, Pawel Roszak and others on Cell Press ⬇️ bit.ly/3ONxil3
🔬ENSA researcher alert! Meet Luuk Rutten, a postdoctoral researcher at Wageningen U&R. Luuk works in Rene Geurts’s group, specialising in molecular cloning and plant mutagenesis and transformation. Discover more about Luuk and other ENSA researchers: ensa.ac.uk/team/dr-luuk-r…
Gibberellin dynamics play a key role in root nodulation to help legume plants maximise #NitrogenFixation, increasing their chances of survival during nutrient scarcity. Discover how from Colleen Drapek, Giles E D Oldroyd (he/they) 🏳️🌈 & others in The Plant Cell: bit.ly/46gEWft #PlantSci
Meet ENSA scientist, Ronan Broad! Ronan Broad is a postdoctoral researcher in Dugald Reid's lab at La Trobe University, where his research focuses on the production of soybean and cowpea crop varieties with enhanced #NitrogenFixation. Discover more about Ronan: ensa.ac.uk/team/ronan-bro…
ENSA researcher alert: Meet Tessa Grainger! 👩🏻🔬 Tessa is a research laboratory technician in Paszkowski Lab’ lab at Crop Science Centre, focused on arbuscular mycorrhizal symbioses with rice. Learn more about Tessa and other ENSA scientists: ensa.ac.uk/team/tessa-gra…
Immunity vs symbiosis. How do similar receptor kinases initiate differential signalling pathways? Take a chance to read our latest preprint exploring conserved symbiotic motifs present in the intracellular domain of NFR1. Simona Radutoiu ENSA Novo Nordisk Foundation
🔬ENSA researcher alert! Meet Nils Nebel, a PhD student in Thomas Ott (@ottlab.bsky.social)’s group at Universität Freiburg. Nils Nebel’ research focuses on membrane dynamics and plant-microbe symbiosis. Learn more about Nil: ensa.ac.uk/team/nils-nebe…
How has arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis evolved to enable the colonisation of land by plants? New study by Mara Sgroi, Paszkowski Lab & others in PNASNews have identified conserved genes and molecular pathways that contributed to AM evolution. 👉🏽 bit.ly/4d83NnS
Meet ENSA scientist, Phillip Poole! Phillip is the project leader at University of Oxford studying the physiology and biochemistry of nitrogen fixation in legume nodules and on cereal roots. Learn more about Phillip’s research and recent publications: ensa.ac.uk/team/phillip-p…
