Microbial community succession and dynamics during the season-long development of apple fruit (Malus × domestica) | Microbiology Spectrum Plant-associated microbes are not well-characterized in specialty crop systems. We describe the fungal and bacterial microbial communities colonizing the surface and interior of apple flowers and frui...

Excited to see this out today! Great team effort from all involved, with intriguing implications linking carbohydrate-degrading potential to microbiome community composition throughout fruit development. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Really nice work showing the hormone responses to elevated temperature in tomato! Some similarities and differences compared to Arabidopsis - it will be interesting to untangle the species-specific regulation!

Thanks for the highlight! It was great to see you again! We have found some ecotypes that resist degradation, hopefully at the next MPMI I'll be able to present more on that mechanism!

Dynamic microbiota shifts and suppression of PTI gene expression in post-harvest apples! Prominently, an increase in detrimental fungi and bacteria is associated with a decrease in beneficial Sporobolomyces and other genera. #HorticulturalResearch

Excited to see this after hearing about it at last year's ASPB meeting! Congrats @manuelgonzalezfuen.bsky.social and all involved!

Such a great program! Congrats to the new AFEs!
