Stay tuned… the Austrian Society of Plant Biology 
will host the next
Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology
conference
in Vienna, 17-20 August 2027
save the date and we will soon upload new details #fespb #plantscience #societiesofplantbiology

Looking forward to show new results from @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social @bokuvienna.bsky.social -can we translate root gravitropic dynamics to predict field foraging patterns? #roots #barley #rootarchitecture #rootphenotyping #gravitropism @marketapernis.bsky.social thx for the invitation @ceitec.eu

It was great, thank you 😊

Roots for future crops: Horizon Europe Projects on Roots with Kati Retzer, Christopher Barnes, Charlotte White and Rafaella Balestrini. bit.ly/4pHuNkl. #PlantScience #SDG #HorizonEU

Gratuliere :)

The ability of roots to control their growth direction will never stop to amaze me 😀 #gravitropism #roots #barley #rootphenotyping monitoring dynamics of root growth changes on soil (frames every 10 min during 1h, 1DAG primary root, 2nd time gravistimulated in a row)

Thanks a lot Jeremie and Thomas for the hosting me at @IPS2

Localized glutamine leakage drives the spatial structure of root microbial colonization Plant roots release exudates to encourage microbiome assembly, which influences the function and stress resilience of plants. How specific exudates drive spatial colonization patterns remains largely ...

A long road to the Cover of Science!

Ambassador meeting in Copenhagen @bjazminrh.bsky.social @katarzynaretzer.bsky.social @rootscientists.bsky.social WP6 #roots

It was a pleasure to host @katarzynaretzer.bsky.social at PLEN, where she shared updates from @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social as well as endeavors into imaging plant roots in the dark

Some very nice #PlantScience papers in this #Preprint list! I 👀 one by @aribidopsis.bsky.social on root hair development. Here's the direct link to the plant development section: thenode.biologists.com/august-in-pr...

Thank you very much :)

#rootforaging correlation environment/ field (samlped in Austria @bokuvienna.bsky.social Wien, Morocco, Lebanon #ICARDA) of our 3 subset of 200 #barley varieties per panel #rootangle #roots #rootphenotyping in-field - super exciting @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social

I am happy to present a, what I learned from our in-field to lab approach @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social -which #roottraits #rootphenotyping were informative in an approach across 3 countries (5 fields, Austria, Lebanon, Morocco) - and b, my long year interest of experimental design influences #root

Thank you so much for this opportunity, I am looking forward:)

Interested in root phenotyping in soil and in the dark? and in Copenhagen on Oct 2? @katarzynaretzer.bsky.social will give a seminar at @ucph.bsky.social PLEN at 11.00 in room M117 - stop by and see high-resolution imaging and multi-omics at work!

Congrats @babakmalekian.bsky.social

Hot off the press!! At my exchange at @niab-uk.bsky.social, we found some interesting patterns in how root hairless wheat will use its microbiome (bacteria + fungi) to improve its phosphorus uptake.
The results in one sentence: bacteria may be cool, but AMF are the superstar!

Great :)
