Post-doc at ETH-Zürich and former PhD at Utrecht University. Studying the assembly and evolution of disease-suppressive plant-associated microbiomes.https://bsky.app/profile/jellespooren.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/jellespooren.bsky.social/post/3mflta5k3fs2fNew paper out now! Proud that also the final chapter of my PhD is now available. In this study published in ISME J, we show a crucial transgenerational link between belowground and aboveground microbiomes for plant protection against downy mildew disease. Enjoy! https://academic.oup.com/ismej/article/19/1/wrag016/847261024 Feb 2026 09:13 +0000at://did:plc:qmzdhbjjuvafjtm2dm6flein/app.bsky.feed.post/3mflta5k3fs2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/jellespooren.bsky.social/post/3lrtdn3yzac2nProud to share our latest pre-print manuscript entitled 'Downy mildew disease-suppressive soils transmit a protective core microbiome to the phyllosphere' (lnkd.in/dBk28gnT). Super cool to see the final chapter of my PhD at the Plant-Microbe Interactions group of Universiteit Utrecht now online! https://lnkd.in/dBk28gnT17 Jun 2025 20:31 +0000at://did:plc:qmzdhbjjuvafjtm2dm6flein/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrtdn3yzac2n
