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

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!

That's so incredible cool to be able to track root growth with this details grown on soil, shaded from direct light, super happy #SimonPree @bokuvienna.bsky.social @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social #barley #plantscience #plantphysiology #roots #droughtresilience studies

New results are presented by Menghui Dong: such good and impressive results that I won't spoil! But be on the lookout for publications from @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social to see the future of crop breeding for plant-microbe interactions!

Finalised our overview of 2 seasons -5 fields (3 countries) - ca 600 #barley varieties- 10000s of datapoints of above and below ground traits -looks like some work was done 😀 @barleymicrobreed.bsky.social @bokuvienna.bsky.social -thx to Nathalie Friedl for mastering #rshiny #droughtresilience #roots

transcriptomics and hormonomics suggest that KIN10 links carbon availability with directional root growth by modulating metabolic and hormonal pathways, strong hints that its affecting auxin and jasmonate signaling
