New paper in @NaturePlants we discuss Harnessing co-evolutionary interactions between plants and Streptomyces to combat drought stress Led by @hongweiliu10 with contribution from Jiayu Li Full article can be found here rdcu.be/dONMn We propose that advancement in fundamental knowledge of eco-evolutionary interactions between plants and Streptomyces spp. is holds substantial promise for developing effective strategies to combat drought stress, ensuring sustainable agriculture and environmental sustainability in the face of climate change nature.com/articles/s41477-0…

Upon pathogen attack, plants can trigger the “cry for help” response & assemble beneficial rhizobacteria. Liu et al. use nonpathogenic Pseudomonas syringae DC3000 derivatives to elicit a similar response as the wild-type pathogenic DC3000 in Arabidopsis. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

NEW PAPER: Ever wondered why insects fly in all sorts of crazy patterns around lights at night? So did we! We set about recording flying insects to work out what's going on. I'll summarise what we found in this 🧵. Spoiler: We don't think they confuse lights with the moon.
