根の周りの微小な生態系を丸ごと可視化 －植物・微生物・土壌を保ったまま観察する電子顕微鏡法－ 詳細はこちらをご覧ください⬇️ riken.jp/press/2026/20260520… doi: doi.org/10.1038/s43247-026-0… #理研プレス

根の周りの微小な生態系を丸ごと可視化

理研らの研究チームは、植物の根の周囲に広がり、微生物、土壌鉱物などが入り混じる「根圏（こんけん）」を、広い範囲で、かつ細胞レベルの細かさで観察する電子顕微鏡法を開発しました。

Importantly, phenotype of card1 mutant is same as that of rbohd, suggesting that CARD1 is direct downstream of RBOHD in FLS2 signaling.
