Excited to share our latest article in ECL 🎉 The key takeaway is vital: we shouldn't study soil-ineffective BNIs under unrealistic application rates. Instead, let's prioritize discovery of alternative candidates🌱 👉 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #SustainableAgriculture #Nitrification #BNI

Looking for some clarity in the labyrinth of terms regarding lateral root initiation (priming, founder cell specification, pre-branch sites, oscillation zone, root clock,...)? Here is our new paper hopefully bringing some light in the darkness: track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=...

Marker-assisted in vivo imaging reveals pre-patterning events prior to lateral root organogenesis
The branching pattern of the Arabidopsis root is established as early as in the distal tip of the primary root.

Excited to share our new paper! A useful tool for scaling up nitrification inhibition tests, that also resulted in the discovery of a new #BNI! Thanks to Fabian Beeckman & all co-authors! @viblifesciences.bsky.social @psb-vib.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
