📢 Announcing our latest SPECIAL ISSUE! Mycorrhizal research now: from the micro- to the macro-scale 📚 https://ow.ly/VvH050RnOmx 🍄 The mycorrhizal symbiosis: research frontiers in genomics, ecology and agriculture 🍄 Microbe-dependent and independent nutrient acquisition 🍄 The hyphosphere core microbiome and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal function 🍄 Effects of plant root mechanisms on carbon and nutrient accumulation in deserts On the cover: 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.

We're delighted to announce the 46th New Phytologist Symposium: Stomata! #46NPS There have been dramatic developments in our understanding of #stomata in recent years, from how their function is controlled and enormous insights into the control of their development, to their evolution and the impact of manipulating stomatal function on plant water-use efficiency. The #46NPS will provide a forum for stomatal scientists to discuss the latest developments and decide on a roadmap for future stomatal research. Given the context of global environment change, it's essential to place stomatal research in this overarching context. On behalf of the organising committee, we hope you can join us! 21–24 October 2024 | Kaifeng, China Travel grant and oral abstract deadline: 14 June Poster abstract deadline: 22 July 👉 https://ow.ly/BQUR50Rmm8p

Excited to share the commentary of our recent study in The New Phytologist Foundation on "Aging later but faster: how StCDF1 regulates senescence in Solanum tuberosum." 🌿 Our research delves into the crucial connection between tuber formation and senescence, shedding light on the molecular regulatory network governing potato leaf senescence onset. Our findings propose a multifaceted role for StCDF1 in the regulation of potato plant senescence. Stay tuned for more updates and discussions on this intriguing topic! #PlantScience #SenescenceRegulation #PotatoResearch 🥔🔬 Michiel de Vries Christian Bachem Richard G.F.
