Ally or adversary? Insect #symbionts contribute to insect adaptation to protease inhibitors but impair their development and survival in suboptimal laboratory conditions Results of #NCN Preludium by my former PhD, Beata #beetle #proteaseinhibitors #insectmicrobes www.nature.com/articles/s41...
On May 12th, we celebrate International Plant Health Day. Nothing without them #PlantHealth #OneHealth
A very interesting day and still a few hours to go 🙂 We have a new team member - Diksha Kumari - welcome to our lab! 👋🙂 Moreover,we started the search for a signal from microcosm, namely from inside of cells in our samples,in cooperation with IBCH. We hope for interesting results!
We have new DOCTOR in our team - Barbara Wrzesińska-Krupa :) The reviewers and the committee requested that the dissertation be distinguished. Dissertation was on plant-virus-satellite RNA and insect vector interactions. It was a very good day!
Is there already a plant virology starter pack? #plantscience #plantvirology

uninvited guest in my office - Western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis). a few years ago I didn't even know what kind of bug it was and I asked my colleagues-entomologists for info. L. occidentalis was first recorded in Poland in 2007 and is now practically ubiquitous. #wtyk
