📢🌱 #Root2Res and BarleyMicroBreed brought together representatives from the European Commission and Parliament, researchers and breeders for a joint Parliamentary Session to present policy recommendations for breeding strategie 🎥  Watch the video: youtu.be/4WeFkKsgeFM

🚀🌱 #Root2Res and BarleyMicroBreed held a joint Parlimentary Session bringing together Commission and Parliament representatives to share policy recommendations supporting #BreedingStrategies for novel #CropVarieties  Missed the session?  🎥 youtube.com/live/yWG9QGniTvE…

Key takeaways 👇 💡 Innovation – shared conclusions by two projects with multidisciplinary teams and breeders involved 🔄 Continuity – it's time to scaleup the root-soil interface, phenotyping traits and methods ⚡ Speed – Novel Genomic Techniques offer a fast track for breeding

📢🌱Today, Root2Res and BarleyMicroBreed host a joint session at the European Parliament placing breeding strategies, emerging crop varieties and root–soil interface research at the heart of the EU #AgriculturalPolicy 🌿🌎 🎥 Join the streaming | 11:00  👉root2res.eu/parliamentary-se…

📢🎙️ New #Root2ResPodcast episode is out! In our fourth podcast episode, “An Introduction to Plant Breeding”, we take a closer look at what plant breeding is, how it has changed & how recent developments are shaping the way we breed crops today  🌱🌿 🎧 youtu.be/-Lv6ifAAbG8?si=kIa3…

📢🎙️ New #Root2ResPodcast episode is out!  What if the key to more #ResilientCrops is right below our feet? In “Roots in Plant Breeding”, we explore why roots deserve a much bigger role in modern plant breeding 🌱🌿 🎧 youtu.be/ANDUicEyunY?si=NNVu…

📢🌱 What an amazing week for #Root2Res! This week we held our General Assembly in Maribor, Slovenia. A busy few days with work package and crop updates, as well as interactive sessions to discuss our progress  👀Stay tuned!  👉 f.mtr.cool/v7yicp7llx

🚀 Exciting news!  #Root2ResToolboxes has been published in Innovation News Network magazine! 📰 They bring together practical methods that can be replicated and adapted to different crop varieties and conditions 🌿🌱 👉innovationnewsnetwork.com/a-…  👉 root2res.eu/r2r-toolboxes/

🌿 Can plant roots adapt when the environment changes? While a #RootIdeotype describes the ideal root system for a specific environment, #RootPlasticity is a plant's capacity to adjust its root traits in response to changing conditions 🌱 🎧 youtu.be/_VlmB0sq8Ds?si=IhkO…

🌱 What if crops could make better use of the phosphorus already in the soil? Root2Res has developed #RootIdeotypes for improved phosphorus uptake in cereals, faba bean and potato. 👇 Explore the infographic to see an example of the Root2Res phosphorus ideotype for cereals

💧 Can we replicate the ideal root system against drought or waterlogging? That's the idea behind #RootIdeotypes: a representation of an ideal root system for specific environmental conditions. 🌧️ Waterlogging 🌱 Early drought ☀️ Late drought 👇Check out the infographic
