Plant roots house one of the most diverse, yet vastly neglected, microbial communities on earth. The aim of the Gravitation programme, MiCRop, is to harness the genomic potential of root microbes as a new platform for improved stress resilience of future crops and sustainable food production. MiCRop encompasses a multi-disciplinary consortium of Dutch scientists focussed on expanding the frontiers of plant-microbiome research by integrating diverse expertises; data analysis, bioinformatics, modelling, plant-microbe interactions, plant-insect interactions, plant stress physiology and metabolism, evolutionary ecology, entomology, phytopathology and microbiology. Six excellent research groups from Amsterdam (UvA, VU), Utrecht (UU) and Wageningen (WUR, NIOO-KNAW1) lead a diverse team of collaborators – including 4 strong data analysis groups - in a focussed collaboration on plant-microbiome sciences.

Last week the national Kids TV "Het Klokhuis" broadcasted a beautiful item on the UU research in the Netherlands Plant Ecophenotyping Centre (NPEC.nl). It's in Dutch, but nevertheless gives a great insight in what plant-microbe research is all about! https://lnkd.in/eaxxU_Mf #kidsprogramme #outreach #UniversityofUtrecht #MiCRop

Several 𝘗𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘴 species are considered PGPR, but what does that mean? PGPR stands for plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. The term was introduced in 1978 by Kloepper and Schroth and is defined as rhizosphere bacteria that can enhance plant growth and yield either directly or indirectly by colonizing the plant roots. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria can produce for instance ACC (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid) which is a precursor for the plant hormone ethylene, and they can also produce plant hormones such as IAA (Indole-3-acetic acid) and ABA (abscisic acid). ABA is involved in many physiological processes such as plant growth and development, seed dormancy, stomatal closure and responses to various environmental stresses. Because ABA regulates stomatal closure it can help plants conserve water during drought conditions. IAA is produced in the growing tips of roots and shoots and is involved in cell elongation. The concentration of IAA determines the rate of cell elongation. Ethylene plays a role in many processes including seed germination, flowering and stress responses. 𝘗𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘴 species with these superpowers include, 𝘗. 𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘥𝘢, 𝘗. 𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦. #microbialsuperpowers #microbes #sustainableagriculture

For the last 5 days, the 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium took place in Amsterdam. It was an inspiring meeting with interesting presentations and future perspectives on the field. 🌱 I had the opportunity to present one of the chapters of my PhD thesis. Although challenging, I really enjoyed presenting for such a big audience for the first time. Looking forward to PMS 2025 in Malaga 💃🏻 #PMS2024 MiCRop - Microbial Imprinting for Crop Resilience
𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝘆𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘂𝗺 We have been welcoming nearly 250 visitors in this year's Plant Microbiome Symposium #5thPMS2024 !! Luckily most attendees were able to follow the full 5-day programme including numerous talks from international keynote speakers, an early career market with representatives from industry and academia and dinners and excursions throughout the beautiful city of Amsterdam. More photos will follow. Please follow us and keep updated!
Over 200 participants discussing the fascinating ins and outs of the plant microbiome at #PMS2024. Lively discussions and new relationships being forged between the participants. Large contingent of early career scientists, with over 140 posters.

This week, Amsterdam is the heartbeat of plant-microbiome research at the 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium! https://lnkd.in/dTdXHCnX 🌱🦠 Would you like to find out "How Good is the 16S rRNA Marker Gene to Discriminate Between Plant-Associated Microbes?" Then join me to discuss the poster based on Katarina Hrovat work, which we recently published in ISME Communications: https://lnkd.in/dz_MPw6e I am looking forward to the inspiring talks, scientific discussions, and catching up with colleagues. It's also great to have many collaborators presenting our work: 📍 Interested in how "Root Metabolites Shape the Rhizosphere Microbiome of Solanaceae Plants Under Drought"? Don’t miss the work by Roland Berdaguer, led by Karlova Rumyana. 📍 If your inner detective is awake, there's a unique opportunity to learn ways of "Catching Cereal Killers" by "Uncovering the Functional Potential of Phyllosphere Yeasts to Control a Mycotoxigenic Pathogen," a work by Linda Gouka, led by Viviane Cordovez. 📍 Last but not least, Xiaoyu Zai will give us "Lessons from the Wild" in an oral presentation on "Deciphering Phyllosphere Microbiome Assembly and Functions of Wild Green Foxtail for Designing Synthetic Communities," a work led by Chunxu Song. Many more inspiring talks, posters, and discussions await!

MiCRop is organising the 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium, 5 days left to the early bird deadline
Are you interested in the plant microbiome? Join the Plant Microbiome Symposium, 17-21 June 2024 in Amsterdam. 5 days to the early bird deadline. www.symposium.microp.org
Invitation to attend the 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium, 17-21 June 2024, Amsterdam, the Netherlands The 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium will be held from Monday evening 17 June until Friday 21 June 2024 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. This meeting is organized by Gravitation program MiCRop - Microbial Imprinting for Crop Resilience. The 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium will continue the tradition of (now) annual meetings of experts on the plant microbiome from all over the world. With these meetings we stimulate the exchange of information and ideas among researchers from around the world and working on a wide spectrum of disciplines and perspectives around the common theme of the plant microbiome. A selection of invited speakers will present their most exciting/unpublished results and expand their talk into the broader context of the field. They were invited to present stimulating or even provocative ideas, all of which should provoke lively discussions and the development of new ideas and research directions. There are many slots left for talks selected from abstracts, there will be poster presentations and flash talks, and there will be an early career market with the invited speakers and industrial representatives. See www.symposium.microp.org for more details. We look forward to welcoming you at the 5th Plant Microbiome Symposium, 17-21 June 2024, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
