Another amazing collaboration for @plantaeofficial.bsky.social, this time with @n-priyadarshini.bsky.social and @aroessling.bsky.social 🌿 We wrote about mental health strategies for researchers, a topic close to our hearts. Check out our tips on staying sane in the lab! plantae.org/lab-tips-for...

Very engaging presentation by Mohsen Mohammadi at #rhizosphere6 on their work in #root enhancement in wheat - lots of overlaps with work done in my lab before I joined, which used RILs between extreme rooting lettuce varieties to identify QTL regions of interest link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Great talk yesterday explaining the mechanisms behind how plant roots respond to air pockets in substrate by Poonam Mehra. I always enjoy hearing about molecular signalling, especially when it is so well presented and explained so clearly! #rhizosphere6

Thank you to Mutez Ahmed for a really interesting talk on how below ground traits influence plants response to drought #rhizosphere6

Really enjoying the #rhizosphere6 conference which is being held in what is possibly the most beautiful lecture hall ever!

#WomenInStem #WomensHistoryMonth Spotlight From the life raft, to the DNA Double Helix, women have historically been a part of major discoveries and inventions in STEM. Check out this list of women who made such inventions and let us know if your favorite made the list in the comments below!

Are you hoping to do some plant root research, but haven't got $ for rhizotrons, let alone access to a multi-million pound Plant Phenotyping Centre? Then check out our paper highlighting a new, affordable method for observing and studying roots grown on substrate. rdcu.be/ebWRV
