@richphillipslab.bsky.social presenting his famous method for collecting root exudates from intact tree roots at #Rhizosphere6 🤩

I love jumping into topics that are rather foreign to me. Very nice lecture by Adrijan Košir " #CalciumCarbonate precipitates in the #rhizosphere: their morphology, textural traits and #ecological functions. They impact water retention& ecosystem. Look at some of these images👀 #Rhizosphere6 #CaCO3 🧪

Very cool topic to address rhizosphere heterogeneity in the root system, using methods to sample individual root types in maize #rhizosphere6 manuscript to come soon!

Revelation of Pseudomonas kribbensis, Serratia plymuthica and Bacillus rugosus strains from #metal #polluted peri-urban belts for lead reduction potential and growth promotion in plant system » Dr. Harshata Pal (Publication in the image) #Rhizosphere6 🧪 #Soil #bioremediation

Excellent plenary by @frantecol.bsky.social on plant-soil interactions in a changing climate. Fascinating! #rhizosphere6

It’s always so nice to see @katiefield4.bsky.social talk about Mucoromycotina 🤩 Cool results on nutrient uptake and C-exchange of plants inoculated with Mucoromycotina at #Rhizo6

Plenary talk by @bulgarelli-d.bsky.social Engineering the rhizosphere microbiota at @Rhizosphere6 ! Looking forward to the lab overview over the last 10 years!!!!

Strong start to the day with @katiefield4.bsky.social and @bulgarelli-d.bsky.social bring the plant-microbe interactions #rhizosphere6

I really enjoyed Doris Vetterlein‘s talk at the #rhizosphere6 on the legacy of rhizosphere. An important and often overlooked topic on what stays in the soil after the roots!

When studying rhizosphere processes, tools do help. Dr. Frederik van der Bom’s talk “From roots to resilience: can rhizosphere diversity shape future agroecosystems“ shows some nice root-rhizosphere tools/platforms in #UniCopenhagen. #Rhizosphere6

Day2 of #rhizosphere6 conference. Just listened to such an engaging talk by @katiefield4.bsky.social that I even forgot to take a photo. Great science uncovering the role of fine root endophytes, the #mycoromycotina. #MFRE, let's go!

Next plenary speaker is @ehannula.bsky.social Interactions between organisms in the rhizosphere 🤩

If you are at #rhizosphere6 and interested in fine root functional traits, go talk to @elsaelsam.bsky.social from @zalf.bsky.social. If you (like me - tearfully) miss out on this event, check out the paper in the thread below 😉

Switching to Lecture Theatre 5 in #Rhizosphere6 to listen to @jonkampouris.bsky.social from @agmicro-lab.bsky.social. But don't take it from me, check out the paper here: genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Have to admit: for #DBG2025 @unituebingen.bsky.social we cannot offer similar location than #rhizosphere6 in Edinburgh 😅 We give our best to fill the impressive halls here with some impressive outcomes: Thanks Sara for unraveling the role of #root hairs in mobilizing #phosphorus from alkaline #soils

Next up at #rhizosphere6: @elsaelsam.bsky.social takes us on a journey about the extensions of the Root Economics Space! 🤩

We're in Lecture Theatre 4 now at #Rhizosphere6 - Efficient Rhizosphere for Resource Use. Marie Spohn starts us off with results from long-term field experiments to understand nutrient limitations

Our own @fredebak.bsky.social presents his work leveraging machine learning #rhizosphere6

Using terrible soil (almost the desert!) for finding rhizosphere traits for phosphorus uptake #rhizosphere6

In "The role of trade-offs between #niche breadth and fitness in #microbial adaptation to fluctuating environments » Prof. Cecile Gubry-Rangin says: "🦠 generalists have greater fitness following an env. change, except after an extreme change when specialists perform better" #Rhizosphere6 🧪

On my way to Edinburgh for my first Rhizosphere conference - #Rhizosphere6! Very happy to share our work with a talk on Tuesday and looking forward to meeting other fellow researchers and hearing about all the exciting projects in the programme!! 🌱🦠 www.rhizo6.org

Impressive venue for plenaries at @edinburghup.bsky.social Looking forward #Rhizophere6 day1

School’s out and I’m at #Rhizosphere6 in Edinburgh! Excited to hear some exciting research!

Rhizosphere 6 is about to start in beautiful McEwan hall in Edinburgh! #rhizosphere6
