2025 @Root2Res Faba shovelomics with the @PlantEcoHutton team has kicked off, we'll be taking some #rhizosphere soil and #roots back to our lab @Soilmicrobio for nutrient cycling and microbial community analysis 🫘 🧬 always great to work with this crew.

Our paper- Size Matters: Influence of Available Soil Volume on the Root Architecture and Plant Response at Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Levels in Barley is published in the June edition of Plant Cell Environment. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pc…
🎬 Check out our video! Sampling #RootExudates and #RhizosphereSoil from the same plant is a significant challenge. In this video, we explain how to sample both efficiently, without damaging the plant's #RootSystem. 🌿✨ 🎥 youtu.be/Rkif6BbJmGc?si…

It was a pleasure to have Rahul Bhosale @RabhoRoot at the @JamesHuttonInst yesterday. His talk about the regulation of the root angle in cereals at the @IntBarleyHub seminar series was very inspiring!

"There are databases around [Fred, Groot, Oak Ridge Laboratory, Try] but we need to try harder to standardize data" to be able to join forces, comments @LarryMattYork at #ISRR24 in Leipzig, referencing nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…
"If this community is to advance, it MUST have a shared database" comments Prof Peter Gregory from University of Reading at the final panel discussion of #ISRR24 at #Leipzig. #root #science
@zheng_congcong (@Ibg2Root) shows nice reproducibility of results btw rhizorons (a.k.a rhizoboxes) and filed results 4 #rhizosphere pH changes at low P, by 2 #rice varieties. 0.5 pH change makes a great difference in P uptake in P deficient strongly p-sorbing acid soils. #ISRR12
