Fungal small RNA molecules (sRNAs) can silence plant genes to establish beneficial symbioses. This study by researchers from @unito and @cragenomica explains how: bit.ly/49nthx4

“For a balanced and healthy ecosystem, we need to preserve both the trees and the fungi they partner with.”
Interesting piece in @Mongabay exploring the crucial role Mycorrhizal fungi play in preserving endangered plants in South America: bit.ly/4i2kkgh

Increasing plant diversity instead of expanding agricultural land shows improvements in plant-microbe interactions, which, in turn, promotes carbon storage in the soil. An insightful read by @Luizdomeignoz, @SerainaCappelli and others in @nature: bit.ly/4eFWsMH
Is there still a diversity gap in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and is there a solution to close this gap? Though focused on #STEM in the UK, this is worth the read to kickstart the year: bit.ly/4fVw571
Global change factors (GCFs), including increased atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition, have generally decreased plant species diversity, according to a study by @BWSchmid & others in @nature:

Honored to present the importance of research on plant-microbe interactions at Academia Nazionale dei Licei.
The roles that will grow the most in the future, including in #STEM, do not have a pipeline of women in them.
Reflecting on @wef’s #gendergap24 report, this video with @zahidi reinforces the global efforts needed to achieve gender parity. bit.ly/4hOVSPt
Nitrous oxide, primarily emitted from the use of synthetic fertilisers and manure, is rapidly accelerating climate change, according to a new assessment by @UNEP ⬇️

Intensifying agriculture has caused a reduction in soil carbon. Plant diversity, however, offers us a way to drive positive microbial associations that could enhance carbon use efficiency in agricultural soils. bit.ly/4f3mGKa

The article is marked as open access and includes authors Lizzi A. Deignan-Horta, Serafina L. Capelli, Rashmi Shrestha, Stephanie Gerin, Aneeka L. Kohlia, David Sebag, Eric Verrechia, and Anna-Liisa Laine.
The overuse of fertilisers may cause nitrogen-fixing plants to lose their diversity. The “winners” and “losers” among nitrogen-fixing lineages varied among study sites, suggesting that losses are context dependent. bit.ly/48o4EzL

Zak, Flavia M.C. Montecinos, Gerlinde B. De Deyn, Roberta C. Izquierdo, Ryan Folk, and several others.
Though women are still leaving #STEM at higher rates than men, differences in attrition rates for those entering the field after 2010 are much smaller than previous generations (58.6% of women and 57.6% of men). bit.ly/4f0K37b

"[Biodiversity] loss is more than just a scientific or environmental concern; it’s a direct threat to global food security, and by extension, human survival."
Well-said, @CGIAR_EMD! Here’s why biodiversity matters for food security: bit.ly/3BGUcab
