Thrilled to present our latest Root2Res research on a novel methodology for simultaneous sampling of rhizosphere microbiota and root exudates from soil-grown plants @rootscientists.bsky.social @plantecohutton.bsky.social @irnasa.bsky.social @bulgarelli-d.bsky.social
Evaluation of combined root exudate & rhizosphere microbiota sampling approaches to elucidate plant–soil–microbe interactions

Carmen gave an excellent talk at #Rhizosphere6 on evaluating combined root exudate and rhizosphere microbiota sampling approaches — offering valuable insights into rhizosphere traits.

Looking forward to www.rhizo6.org Rhizosphere_6 to meet colleagues from @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social and our EU Horizon sister project Root2Res and the @rootscientists.bsky.social community #roots #rhizosphere @rootarchitecture.bsky.social

Teams from @Root2Res and @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social interested in root phenotyping met to discuss our range of protocols and approaches. We’re looking forward to getting together at Rhizo6 in Edinburgh in June.

A change is as good as a rest! I enjoyed helping out with
#Root2res faba bean #shovelomics harvesting over the last few days. A great team effort from
@plantecohutton.bsky.social et al. See you at the next harvest! #rhizosphere #rootangle #root2res

There’s lots of activity in Root2Res in planning the experiments in all crop species to validate the ideotypes described the project and screen large populations for root traits. Watch this space for findings of these experiments.

Yesterday was a great day to drill a Root2Res trial. Looking at #fababean #rooting and response to late #drought Thanks to the @adasgroup.bsky.social High Mowthorpe team for the hard work. #PlantScience

Making great progress on dry weight samples from the #Root2Res bean harvest!

Thanks to the guys at KIS in Slovenia and ICARDA in Morocco, we now have all the Faba bean genotypes for the large panel root phenotyping trial for Root2Res in Scotland this year. There were some causalities along the way, but they are now all safely stored and ready for planting.

Our @Root2Res 2025 potato trials are planted by the @teagasccrops.bsky.social Potato Breeding Team and ourselves @soilmicrobio.bsky.social. Huge thanks to all involved for their efforts. Looking forward to phenotyping these 440 genotypes above and below ground 🌿🥔

We joined the 4th Root2Res Annual meeting in Maribor Slovenia. It was great to catch up with everyone as we move into the last year of the project. We made lots of plans to finish the project off in style.

It's been a wonderful 3 days! Beautiful walks round Kew, sharing work in faba #rooting from the Root2Res project & lots of in person connecting & learning. Thanks to Lars @larsostergaard.bsky.social Casper @casparchater.bsky.social and the committee for all the work to bring us together. #legumes
