Just was following an extremely interesting presentation of one of our group's PhD students' projects, titled:
“Mining of the rhizosphere microbiome for potato late blight resistance” by Lihong Yan.

I cannot share too much but very interesting results are to come, that will change the way we think about phytopathology and resistance breeding. I will share Lhong We really should work more interdiciplinarily in plant breeding (and agronomy in general). Plants arent isolated units in an ecosystem. It's all connected an so should be different scientific disciplines.

Stay tuned!
