Nanodomain-localized formin gates symbiotic microbial entry in legume and solanaceous plants Colonization of plant roots by symbionts requires substantial morphodynamic reorganization. Examples are actin-scaffolded microcompartments called infection pockets formed during root nodule symbiosis...

Happy to share our latest work in collaboration with the lab of @pengbo10.bsky.social. Here, we describe that a formin protein mediates the polarity switch from root hair to infection thread growth during symbiotic interactions.

Did you know that plant hormones determine whether a symbiosis with a fungus will be formed? 🍄 The lab of @carogutj.bsky.social was able to decipher how plants control symbioses and what exactly happens when stressors like flooding inhibit these.
