This week our group @numaps-news.bsky.social presented a poster highlighting our research lines and ongoing work at the IX Research Conference of the Science and Technology Faculty, organized by the University of the Basque Country! π§ͺπΏ Check it out!
π Exciting news! Daniel Marino and @diegotazueco.bsky.social from our group have visited the CBGP in Madrid to share insights on root system research as part of the Roots4Future network. π±β¨Great discussions on plant resilience & future collaborations. πΎ
π©π»βπ¬ Today, on the International Day of Cereals, we highlight our research on wheat and barley πΎ Their growth depends on efficient nitrogen use, and at NUMAPS, we study how to optimize it for better yields and sustainability. Science for a greener future! π±π¬
π±Understanding nitrogen use in cereals starts at the molecular levelπ¬We use Brachypodium distachyon calluses as a tool to unravel the molecular mechanisms behind nitrogen use in cereals. Every step, from petri dishes to fields, brings us closer to more sustainable agricultureπΎ
πβ¨ Had the pleasure of giving a talk on soil and soil health as part of the ECHO project, a fantastic citizen science initiative empowering people to monitor and protect European soils ποΈπ±
Big thanks to Ibercivis and Sagarrak for making it happen π
π©π»βπ¬Today, on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the incredible women in our lab and beyond who drive research forward. Their work is essential to building a more inclusive and sustainable future in science. More equity, more science, more justice!π±
π¬ On Pikovskaya agar, phosphate solubilization is key! Left: a microorganism forms a halo π’, releasing phosphate. Right: no halo β, no solubilization. Microbes matter for soil fertility! π±π¦
