☔️ The rainout shelters (aka polytunnels) are up in the @Root2Res @ADAS_Mowthorpe #fababean trial. Imposing a late #drought to see how well the different varieties #root and take up #water

Replying to @Arvalisofficiel
@Arvalisofficiel representatives attending #Rhizosphere6 ; among other presenting results of @Root2Res project on traits to assess for #root architecture characterization in the field (for cereals and potato mainly). Lots of fruitful interactions in Edimburg.

See our latest paper - Size Matters: Influence of Available Soil Volume on the Root Architecture and Plant Response at Transcriptomic and Metabolomic Levels in Barley which has come out of the innovative work being done in @Root2Res WP5! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Size Matters: Influence of Available Soil Volume on the Root Architecture and Plant Response at...

Pot size affects root architecture and molecular responses in controlled plant experiments. A barley landrace maintained stable root traits and osmoprotectants across sizes, while a modern elite...

Had a wonderful 3 days at #KewGardens for UK #legume research community conf & PCGIN meet. Sharing work on faba #rooting from @Root2Res project. Photos nod to the #orchidfestival and great talk on leguminosae diversity. Great to be in person connecting, sharing & learning.

2/6 🔬 Le projet Root2Res a pour ambition de créer une boîte à outils de #phénotypage pour la recherche et les sélectionneurs. 🎯 L'objectif ? Aider à développer des variétés de pommes de terre plus résilientes en analysant les systèmes racinaires. #AgriTech #Racines
