ALT View of the soil mycorrhizal community in a hypothetical forest dominated by oak species associated with different types of mycorrhizal fungi that form separate underground networks (MN) that may possibly be used to transport amino acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, signaling microRNAs or peptides and hormones.
ALT Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus intraradices, inoculated within the plant compartment, colonized roots of the host plant Avena barbata and grew across an air gap to reach the no-plant compartment.
ALT Simplified representation of water transport from soil through an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus hypha to a plant root. Extracytoplasmic water transport in a hypha, joins apoplastic transport in a plant root. Cytoplasmic transport in a hypha, joins symplastic transport in a plant root.
And of course a big congrats to @AKakouridis (primary author of the paper and also happens to be my mentor, neighbor, good friend, etc. etc.). Thanks for letting join in all the fun 💚

just sitting here eating late night cereal and thinking about how smart @LinaMLion is and how she teaches me literally soo many useful things about cloning that nobody else has ever mentioned to me
Somehow didn’t have the foresight today that saying out loud that, “I’m an insecure plate pourer” while pouring plates in the hood would lead to a crowd of 3 people that wanted to stay and watch until I was done jsphflsnslanal
Who hasn’t had issues cloning 😅 This project is based on a comic a friend shared with me. Unfortunately, the original comic appeared to be anonymous, but I’ll share it in an effort to attribute proper credit.
Our lab held an internal competition for the best scientific picture this week...The winner is this picture by @JanMartinek4, featuring an Arabidopsis flower with pollen tubes growing through the pistil, stained with aniline blue. Congratulations!
This feels like when frat boy decorates their kitchen with empty liquor bottles on top of the cabinets (note: they’re all empty, and will not be refilled)
