- My poster is up and ready at #2025ISMPMI! Curious why bacteria show spatial colonization preferences on roots? If you want to know more, come visit my poster P-248, on Thursday, 13:30–15:15
- Wow! Beautiful images and impressive detective work! I'm curious, does the excess glutamine (leaked or applied) negatively impact plant growth/development?
- Thank you Courtney! The amount of glutamine we detected (leaked from the sgn3myb36 mutant) and applied was in the µM range, and the treatment lasted only 6 hours. Under these conditions, we did not observe any impact of glutamine on plant growth/root development.
- Thanks! Cool! I wonder if glutamine can be a tool to boost beneficial plant-microbe interactions - especially inoculants that may be good in the lab but fail to colonize under field conditions. 🙂Jul 17, 2025 07:30
- Totally, that would be a very interesting application! It's definitely worth exploring! 😁
